Wedding in Sicily: Aurora Ramazzotti and Goffredo Cerza Celebrate Multi-Day Festivities at Castello Xirumi

Even before the ceremony, Aurora Ramazzotti had announced the start of her wedding weekend on Instagram. She wrote "Es geht los" and added a diamond ring emoji. The words and the image marked the starting signal for a multi-day celebration that, according to Hunziker, was to last a total of three days. Michelle Hunziker had previously said on the Italian TV show "Verissimo": "Wenn wir eine Party schmeißen, dann richtig" (When we throw a party, we do it right).

Civil Ceremony in Militello in Val di Catania

The relationship between Ramazzotti and Cerza began around nine years ago through mutual friends. About a year and a half ago, the couple publicly announced their engagement; according to reports, the exact date of the engagement is given as December 1, 2025. The two have a son together who is three years old.

For the civil ceremony, the bride wore a dress by Giorgio Armani Privé made of silk satin, tulle, and embroidered lace inserts, described as a contemporary reinterpretation of her mother Michelle Hunziker's 1998 wedding gown. In a Vogue interview, Aurora Ramazzotti explained: "Es gibt Details, die an meine Herkunft erinnern, und andere, die die Frau widerspiegeln, zu der ich geworden bin".

The highlight of the wedding weekend took place on Saturday at Castello Xirumi Serravalle, a 16th-century noble residence near Syracuse. In front of 250 guests from the fields of music, fashion, and entertainment, there was exuberant celebration, with fireworks and a singing performance. For the party, the bride changed into a silk-satin dress with a crystal-embellished neckline.

The bride's father, Eros Ramazzotti, who led his daughter down the aisle in a tuxedo, was also present at the religious or symbolic ceremony. After the ceremony and the big celebration, he spoke emotionally, describing the day as one of the most beautiful of his life. At the party, he appeared all in blue.

Michelle Hunziker, who once again set fashion accents in a summery azure-blue dress, shared a series of wedding photos on Instagram. At the celebration, she shed tears of joy, as several media outlets reported. The pictures show the 49-year-old visibly moved, surrounded by her daughter.

Now 29 years old, Aurora Ramazzotti is known from TV appearances and as an internet influencer, with 2.6 million followers on Instagram. Her parents, Michelle Hunziker and Eros Ramazzotti, were married from 1998 to 2009. Eros Ramazzotti is 62 years old and has achieved major international success with hits such as "Più bella cosa," "Una storia importante," and "Cose della vita." Michelle Hunziker is known in the German-speaking world primarily for her hosting alongside Thomas Gottschalk on "Wetten, dass..?".

After the ceremony, the newlyweds celebrated with their guests at Castello Xirumi. This was followed by videos of an exuberant celebration with music and singing, which were also shared on social media. However, the three-day celebration was not yet over, but was set to continue over the weekend, as several media outlets reported.

Sicily has for some time been a sought-after location for celebrity weddings. Just at the beginning of June, British star Dua Lipa had married there, with the historic Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria near Palermo taking center stage. According to media reports, more than 200 guests from the fields of music, fashion, and entertainment took part in the events. Castello Xirumi Serravalle is described as one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Sicily.

Sicily as a Wedding Destination for Celebrities

The choice of location was deliberate: instead of a wedding in New York, which had reportedly been under consideration for a time, the couple opted for Sicily. In doing so, the bride and groom followed a trend among international celebrities who are increasingly turning to Italian noble residences and country estates for their weddings.

Michelle Hunziker had announced in interviews that the celebration would last three days. This was meant to make her daughter's wedding also a large family reunion, attended by both parents – despite their long-completed separation – together with the bride and groom and their three-year-old grandson. Other relatives, friends, and companions from the entertainment industry were also invited.

Fashion Accents from the Bride, Mother, and Father

Alongside the great emotions of the parents and the couple, the media focus also fell on the fashion: With the Armani Privé dress, the later party dress with crystal neckline, and the duet of Hunziker's azure-blue dress and Eros Ramazzotti's blue party look, the wedding party set visual accents that were discussed extensively on social media. The image material, distributed via Instagram and the photo agency APA, showed the bride at the ceremony and subsequently celebrating with friends and family.

The wedding in Sicily is regarded as one of the most prominent private events of the summer in Italy. Observers see the choice of location, the guest list, and the involvement of both parents as a sign that family cohesion extends beyond the Ramazzottis' and Hunziker's former separation. Should the newlyweds publish further pictures or details in the coming days, public interest in the event is likely to continue.

The reporting relied primarily on photos and short videos that the couple and closest family shared themselves via Instagram, as well as agency pictures from APA. This created a mosaic of private snapshots, official civil registry images, and party impressions that documented the multi-day celebration from different perspectives.
