Aurora Ramazzotti married her partner Goffredo Cerza in a civil ceremony on Friday in Militello in Val di Catania in Sicily and celebrated a three-day festivity at Castello Xirumi Serravalle.
Civil ceremony in Militello
The daughter of TV host Michelle Hunziker and singer Eros Ramazzotti said "I do" to her partner Goffredo Cerza on Friday at the civil registry office in Militello in Val di Catania. Aurora Ramazzotti, who as an internet influencer reaches 2.6 million followers on Instagram, had already kicked off her wedding weekend on Thursday on the Italian Mediterranean island with a caption that began in German: „Es geht los" – followed by a diamond ring emoji.
For the civil ceremony, the bride wore a simple, white outfit consisting of a sleeveless top, a skirt, a net hat, and sandals. At her side, the groom appeared in a light blue shirt, trousers, and sneakers. Numerous onlookers greeted the couple in front of the town hall and took photos. A few hours later, Aurora Ramazzotti shared videos of a lively celebration with music and singing via her Instagram profile.
Background: Wedding dress with reference to the family history
The couple has been together for around nine years and has a shared, three-year-old son. Aurora Ramazzotti and Goffredo Cerza had publicly announced their engagement on 1 December 2025. In a conversation with Vogue magazine, the bride later explained that her wedding dress deliberately incorporated details that recall her origins while also containing elements that reflect her current personality. „Es gibt Details, die an meine Herkunft erinnern, und andere, die die Frau widerspiegeln, zu der ich geworden bin", she said.
The highlight of the multi-day festivity was a grand celebration at Castello Xirumi Serravalle, a 16th-century noble residence near Syracuse, on Saturday. According to media reports, around 250 guests from the fields of music, fashion, and entertainment attended the Saturday party. The program included fireworks and a singing performance. The wedding party had already arrived on the Italian Mediterranean island on Thursday.
Highlight: Saturday celebration at the Castello
Eros Ramazzotti, the bride's father, walked his daughter down the aisle on Saturday in a tuxedo. Later, Aurora Ramazzotti changed into a silk satin dress with a crystal-embellished neckline for the evening event. The wedding dress for the civil ceremony had been designed by Giorgio Armani Privé; it was crafted from silk satin, tulle, and embroidered lace inserts and conceived as a contemporary reinterpretation of her mother's 1998 wedding gown.
Michelle Hunziker, who had herself married Eros Ramazzotti in 1998 and separated from him in 2009, announced in advance on the Italian show "Verissimo" that the celebrations were to last three days. „Wenn wir eine Party schmeißen, dann richtig", the host said. She wore a summery azure-blue dress to the party. On Instagram she published a series of wedding photos and wrote that she had cried with joy at her daughter's ceremony.

Eros Ramazzotti, in turn, described the day as one of the most beautiful of his life: „Einer der schönsten Tage meines Lebens!", he wrote. He also shared his wedding joy with his approximately 2.5 million followers on Instagram. The singer, who is known for hits such as "Più bella cosa", "Una storia importante", and "Cose della vita", wore blue at the celebration.
Earlier in June, British pop star Dua Lipa had also married in Sicily. According to media reports, the center of her multi-day celebrations was the historic Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria near Palermo, attended by more than 200 guests from the music, fashion, and entertainment industries. A few days before Ramazzotti's wedding, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had also married in the same period.
Michelle Hunziker had previously become known primarily in the German-speaking world through co-hosting "Wetten, dass..?" alongside Thomas Gottschalk. Today she regularly appears on Italian TV shows. With Eros Ramazzotti, she shares, in addition to their daughter, a joint public presence: both rank among the best-known personalities in the Italian entertainment industry.
Even if certain details have so far only been confirmed via social media and Italian magazines, the available reports paint a consistent picture of a multi-day celebration with a civil ceremony, a grand Saturday banquet, and publicly shared participation. According to media reports, the couple had gotten engaged around a year and a half ago – Aurora Ramazzotti publicly announced the engagement on 1 December 2025.
Social media: How celebrities accompanied their fans
For fans and followers who followed the events via social networks, the weekend offered a mix of intimate moments and staged posts: from the caption „Es geht los" to family photos with the three-year-old son to videos featuring singing performances and fireworks on Saturday evening.
The choice of location is explained by the symbolic significance of Sicily as a wedding region: within just a few weeks, both Dua Lipa's and Aurora Ramazzotti's celebrations took place there, further pushing the island to the forefront in international wedding coverage.
Sicily as a wedding destination
Glamour was provided not only by the dresses from Giorgio Armani Privé and the bride mother's outfit, but also by the guest list, which, alongside family members, included other representatives of the Italian and international entertainment industry. Hunziker and Eros Ramazzotti – married between 1998 and 2009 – appeared together in the closest family circle in public for the first time in years on Saturday.
Overall, the wedding shows how consistently the couple staged their celebrations: with clear visual messages, short video clips, and direct addresses to fans. Following the celebration, Ramazzotti and Cerza announced that they would personally reach out to their community again after the honeymoon.
The coverage over the weekend focused primarily on visual impressions – from the bride's outfit to the fireworks to the clips shared from the Castello. An official statement from the couple regarding further plans was not available at the time of the reports.
