Arabic version: باليرمو تحتفل بشائعات زفاف دوا ليبا المرتقب

Palermo is abuzz with excitement as rumors circulate that singer Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner may tie the knot in the city this June. According to The Guardian, Italian newspapers have reported that preparations for what could be the ‘wedding of the year’ are already underway.

Last July, Lipa and Turner shared their affection for Palermo through a series of Instagram photos taken during their holiday. The couple, who became engaged shortly before their trip, were seen enjoying the city’s vibrant culture, from its baroque architecture to its renowned culinary delights. The couple’s love for the Sicilian capital has only grown since then.

Alessandro Minnone, owner of Colletti, a bar in downtown Palermo, expressed his pride at the possibility of the couple choosing his city for their wedding. “I was honoured to welcome her to my venue,” he stated, highlighting Lipa’s down-to-earth nature. Local speculation intensified after reports indicated that a wedding planner had been hired and accommodations reserved at the luxurious Villa Igiea for the couple’s guests, although the ceremony itself would not take place at the venue.

Potential wedding venues have been suggested, including the inner courtyard of GAM, Palermo’s modern art gallery, and the recently restored church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo. Local media also mentioned that Piazza Croce dei Vespri might be a central location for the celebrations, prompting anticipation among residents who hope to catch a glimpse of the star on her special day.

Fans in Palermo are eager for the couple’s return, with many expressing excitement at the thought of Lipa in a wedding dress. The news has generated a wave of enthusiasm, as the city prepares to potentially host one of the most talked-about weddings in recent memory.
