Your symbolic ceremony in Siracusa
Symbolic Ceremonies in Siracusa and Val di Noto
The province of Siracusa is home to some of the most extraordinary places in the ancient Mediterranean. Ortigia, the island that gave birth to Archimedes, with its Baroque palaces and the Fountain of Arethusa; Noto, the UNESCO-listed Baroque capital of Sicily; the wild coastline of Vendicari with its flamingos. Together they create a setting unmatched anywhere in the world for celebrating your love.
I celebrate secular ceremonies in this province in places of incredible historical and natural value.
The most evocative locations where I celebrate:
- Ortigia — the Baroque island, the Fountain of Arethusa, secret gardens and historic courtyards by the sea
- Noto — Sicily's Baroque capital, its gilded facades lit up at sunset
- Marzamemi — the fishermen's village, the historic tuna factory and the picturesque little harbour
- Vendicari — the nature reserve with seasonal lakes, flamingos and white sand dunes
- Portopalo di Capo Passero — the lighthouse at Italy's southernmost tip and the Island of the Currents
- Avola — white sandy beaches, a hexagonal town centre and crystal-clear sea
- Palazzolo Acreide — Greek ruins, an ancient theatre and Baroque architecture in the heart of the Iblei
