Daniele & Lucrezia
There is a particular morning light in the Val di Noto. It settles on honey-coloured stone and makes everything feel as if it is already part of a film.
On 26 June that light found Daniele in Modica, in a house tucked between Maganuco and Marina di Modica, and Lucrezia in the elegant rooms of Palazzo Favacchio Patanè in Scicli: two separate mornings, quietly building towards the same afternoon.

The Getting Ready
Daniele’s preparations began just after one o’clock, with his brother and closest friends around him — the same three men who would later stand beside him as witnesses. A groom’s morning has its own stillness: a jacket laid out, a boutonnière waiting on the table, the kind of quiet that only exists before a day like this.
Across town in Scicli, Lucrezia’s morning moved to a different rhythm. Palazzo Favacchio Patanè filled with the soft chaos of hair and make-up by Giulia and the Margherita Mirabella Hairstyle team, while the bouquet, the rings, the invitation suite and a bottle of perfume became the still-life details that anchor a wedding film.
Ivory and green ran through everything: the flowers by Officina Didattica, the ribbon on the bouquet, even the light coming through the palazzo’s windows. By half past two Lucrezia was ready, her Kartika Sposa gown catching the Sicilian afternoon light.
The Ceremony — Chiesa San Bartolomeo, Scicli
At five o’clock a hundred guests filled the pews of Chiesa San Bartolomeo, one of Scicli’s best-loved landmarks, its Baroque façade rising above the rooftops of the town. Don Salvo Bella led the religious ceremony in Italian, and Amedeo Falla’s organ filled the church as it built towards the moment Daniele and Lucrezia had told us they had always dreamed of.
They exchanged their vows in front of both families — his mother, father and brother; her parents, standing together for the day, and her brother — and the friends who had come to witness it.
The Reception — Villa Anna
From the church the day moved to Villa Anna, the couple arriving by Range Rover Sport through the golden late-afternoon light. What followed was a true Sicilian celebration. The dinner speeches, the other moment the couple had said they were most looking forward to, unfolded under the open sky. Then the Sarabanda Band and DJ Charlie Chaplin took over and carried the evening from candlelit toasts into dancing that lasted well past midnight.
Two videographers and two photographers from Alborino Photography worked through the day together, capturing both the intimate exchanges — the vows, the arrival at the villa, the toasts at dinner — and the wider energy of a hundred guests celebrating two families becoming one.
From the air, the drone followed the honey-stone rooftops of Scicli and the grounds of Villa Anna as the light shifted from afternoon gold to evening blue.
White, Ivory and Green
Every wedding has its own visual signature, and for Daniele and Lucrezia it was written in white, ivory and green, from the bridal bouquet to the table settings at Villa Anna. It is a palette that suits the Val di Noto perfectly: warm stone, soft light, and greenery that never competes with the architecture, only complements it.
