A Destination Wedding at Villa Criscione, Ragusa — Sicily
Some places seem made for love stories. Villa Criscione, in the countryside outside Ragusa, is one of them.
Set among historic stone buildings and golden light, it is one of the most captivating settings for a destination wedding in Sicily. For Giuseppe and Eleonora, who left Rome to return to their roots for the most important day of their lives, it was the natural choice.

An Outdoor Civil Ceremony in the Heart of Sicily
The civil ceremony took place outdoors, in a setting that felt intimate, refined and deeply rooted in its place. The natural light of the Ragusa countryside fell on every moment — the vows, the glances, the quiet pauses between words — and gave the ceremony an atmosphere that was authentic, emotional and unmistakably Sicilian.
The layout of the ceremony, flowers chosen to sit with the villa’s historic architecture and a carefully considered colour palette all made this a wedding that felt both elegant and personal.
The defining moment came as the ceremony closed: a burst of coloured smoke and confetti cannons sealed the vows with an explosion of joy, and gave us some of the most powerful images of the whole day.
