Our story

Livia was painting watercolours on a flight of steps by the sea when Mauro, inking a drawing two steps higher up, asked to borrow a little blue: his had dried out. He never gave it back.

Since then we have filled travel sketchbooks together: he draws the lines, she adds the colour. There is one page left to paint, and we would love to paint it with you, above the Sicilian sea.

The day

One June evening, from the rotunda to the last song.

  1. Ceremony in the rotunda

    Beneath the marble dome, with the sea behind us and the sun going down.

  2. Drinks on the lemon-tree terrace

    Almond granita, house wine and a mandolin trio.

  3. Dinner under the bougainvillea

    Long tables in the garden, lanterns and Sicilian cooking.

  4. Party

    Dancing on the terrace until the lights of the bay go out.

The venue

Where we’ll celebrate

Villa Lumìa

Fictional villa

19:00

Taormina · Sicily

A baroque villa invented for this sample: a double staircase, palm trees, a terrace of lemon trees and a marble rotunda on the edge of the cliff. On a real website, this is where the address, parking and a map link would go.

Good to know

Everything you need to arrive unhurried and enjoy the evening.

  • Getting there

    Shuttle buses run from Catania airport and from Taormina up to the villa: departures at 17:30 and 18:00, returning from midnight. Sample times.

  • Where to stay

    Small hotels and guesthouses with a view in Taormina, fifteen minutes from the villa. On a real website, our list with booking codes would go here.

  • Summer dress code

    Elegant and light: linen, silk and pale colours. The gardens are gravel and stone, so block heels are best.

  • Sun and steps

    The ceremony is outdoors, facing the setting sun: bring sunglasses and a wrap for later. There are stone steps between the terraces; if you need it, a little car will take you up.

Until we meet in Sicily
