Aurora Ramazzotti and Goffredo Cerza wed in Sicily: civil ceremony kicks off three-day celebration
The daughter of Eros Ramazzotti and Michelle Hunziker exchanged vows in a civil ceremony on July 3, with a religious ceremony and grand party set for July 4 at Castello Xirumi Serravalle.
The civil ceremony
Aurora Ramazzotti, 29, and entrepreneur Goffredo Cerza, 30, were married in a civil ceremony on Friday, July 3, at the monastery of San Benedetto in Militello in Val di Catania, Sicily. The service was officiated by mayor Giovanni Burtone in an intimate setting, with only close family and friends present. The bride chose a simple look: a white top, knitted skirt, net headpiece, and flip-flops, while the groom wore a light blue shirt, trousers, and sneakers.
Pre-wedding celebrations
Following the legal formalities, the couple hosted a pre-wedding dinner and dance in a large garden. Long imperial tables were decorated with fuchsia, lilac, and cherry floral arrangements of roses, alliums, and hydrangeas in traditional Sicilian ceramic vases. Orange candles and multicolored napkins completed the setting. For the evening, Aurora changed into a white mermaid gown with a strapless draped sweetheart neckline, lace inserts with rhinestones and crystals, and a floor-length silk cape. She wore her hair in a high bun with diamond drop earrings and a matching necklace.
The main event
Today, July 4, the religious ceremony will take place at 18:00 at Castello Xirumi Serravalle in Lentini, Syracuse province. The historic castle will host a dinner and a large party afterward, with reports that Eros Ramazzotti, the bride’s father, will perform. The weekend will conclude with a post-wedding celebration on Sunday, July 5.
