Italian newspapers claim singer and actor, who is tipped to be next James Bond, are planning ‘wedding of the year’ in the city
Last July, Dua Lipa shared a series of photos on Instagram while on holiday in Palermo with Callum Turner, the British actor she had become engaged to weeks earlier. In these photos, the pair appeared radiantly in love with each other – and the Sicilian capital.
There were pictures of the couple strolling through the city’s vibrant baroque alleys, admiring the ceiling frescoes in its striking cathedral and enjoying sunset boat trips. In another, a smiling Turner is holding a pair of ricotta-filled cannoli, the Sicilian dessert. One photo even captured the word ‘“amore” scrawled on a wall.
Now, rumours percolate that the couple might marry in Palermo this summer – possibly in June – and it’s unlikely anyone is more excited than Alessandro Minnone, the owner of Colletti, a bar in the city centre from where Dua Lipa posted pictures of herself shuffling cards and holding a Campari soda when the couple visited for an aperitivo.
“I was honoured to welcome her to my venue,” Minnone told the Guardian, describing Dua Lipa as “a very down-to-earth and warm person”.
