This event is formal. Suits for men, long dresses for women. Black tie optional. Temperature in August is typically 84 – 86 F (29 – 30 C) rarely falling below 80 F (26 C) or exceeding 91 F (33 C). The church is in the downtown area of the small town of Palazzolo Acreide. The old stone pavement and limited access to the center of the town makes pointed heels hard to walk in so they are not recommended. Please give yourself at least an hour to reach the location from Siracusa or Ortigia, this will give you time to get to the venue before the ceremony begins. You can prearrange a taxi or a shuttle reservation to the venue.
