With views of Mount Etna and Sicily and Aspromonte National Park as a backdrop, Reggio Calabria is a picturesque city. Its seafront, described by Gabriele D’Annunzio as “Italy’s most beautiful kilometre,” offers an exceptional setting for a destination wedding. From sunrise to sunset, the sea and sky display colours rarely seen elsewhere.

The seafront, lined with Art Nouveau buildings and remnants of the ancient “Reghion”, also features a botanical garden overlooking the Strait, with centuries-old magnolias and exotic palms. Their intertwined trunks and exposed roots create striking backdrops for photographs. Sculptures by Rabarama and Edoardo Tresoldi’s steel-mesh installation, reminiscent of Greek temple columns, offer equally captivating settings.

For an iconic photograph by the sea, the Amphitheatre overlooking the Strait is a must, featuring the marble memorial and the monumental bronze statue of Athena Promachos.

Reggio Calabria blends historic treasures with sea views. In the historic centre, side streets open to the horizon, making the city an ideal setting for a unique wedding in Calabria.

An ideal setting for every wedding style.
