Your symbolic ceremony in Ragusa
Symbolic Ceremonies in Ragusa and Val di Noto
The province of Ragusa is the heart of Ibleo Baroque, a unique architectural style listed as UNESCO World Heritage. Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Scicli and Ispica are villages that have remained almost untouched over the centuries, where every limestone alleyway, every noble palace and every monumental square tells of an aristocracy that knew how to turn stone into poetry.
I have been celebrating secular ceremonies in this province for years, among rural farmhouses, historic mansions and splendid villas overlooking the Val di Noto.
The most evocative locations where I celebrate:
- Ragusa Ibla — limestone alleyways, the Ibleo Gardens and UNESCO-listed Baroque palaces
- Modica — the city of chocolate, with two Baroque church-lined courses on opposing hills
- Scicli — the hidden village, the scenic churches and the Inspector Montalbano film locations
- Marina di Ragusa and Donnalucata — Ionian beaches, sand dunes and summer villas
- Punta Secca — Montalbano's lighthouse, the sandy beach and the crystal-clear sea
- Ispica — the Cava d'Ispica park, the rock-cut catacombs and the Baroque town centre
- Comiso — the natural amphitheatre among dry-stone walls, almond and orange groves
