A Baroque wedding in Noto




 Yesterday a very nice tour with my American tourists : starting from Marina di Ragusa, to Ragusa Ibla and then luch in Modica and from Modica in the tiny but picturesque fihermen village of Marzamemi and then to Noto where , in its beautiful Cathedral a wedding had just been celebrated..
Looking at the couple making  the "offcial photoes", looking around at the wedding guests....and then waiting the groom and the bride coming out from the church.
To my American people all this was amazing and it sounded more interesting than the Baroque in Ibla, the sunset in Marzamemi or the dark choccolate of Modica... ..
Why not? This is also Sicily!
A question? They got married on Monday!
Do you celebrate weddings also on the week days and not only in the weekends?
Yes we do, every day BUT never on Sundays.


They're  around making photoes as memory of the day

it's the turn now to make photoes with " i parenti più stretti"- the closest relatives..

Just for special occasion the central gates of the Cathedral are opened like today

Every gust,before going outside, can take and taste little" confetti" as a good luck

Rice and rose petals on the couple

Here they are..under very hot sunbeams...yesterday 41 °C

now anothe tour for romantic pictures in the Capital of the Sicilian Baroque

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
