One of my favourite places in the Province of Ragusa, the Castello di Donnafugata, was the centre of public and media attention on Saturday as the romantic setting for the wedding of the gorgeous Luca Zingaretti [of Montalbano fame] and his long-term partner, the Neapolitan actress Luisa Ranieri.
Among the guests were the actress Isabella Ferrari, Montalbano producer Alberto Sironi, the actors Cesare Bocci [Mimi Augello in the Montalbano series] and Peppino Mazzotta [Inspector Fazio] and, of course, the couple's one-year-old daughter Emma. There was a red carpet, from which Mr Zingaretti greeted well-wishers, the castle walls were bedecked with soft lighting, the dinner was cooked by chef Ciccio Sultano and the cake was made by the Di Pasquale brothers of Ragusa's Pasticceria Di Pasquale.
There will be no immediate honeymoon as Mr Zingaretti is completing filming of a Montalbano series. Although born in Rome, he says he always feels at home in Sicily.
Congratulations to the happy couple- I'm off to hurl myself on the bed and cry now.

I don't see the word 'gorgeous' in front of her name. ;-)
It sounds like a perfect setting for a wedding.
Hi, James. I only look at men, me! Hi,Cherie. I'm sure it is.
What a glamorous building, that is really the only adjective I can find to describe it!
Hi, Jenny. Yes, it is glamorous, isn't it? It has been lovingly restored.
Finally we can look forward to new Montalbano episodes (and what he will be eating). Well wishes to the happy couple!
