Venus Williams and Andrea Preti tied the knot on Friday, Sept 19 in Ischia: an ultra-private ceremony at the Punta Imperatore Lighthouse (Forio) followed by a reception at Lisola, the fine-dining venue launched in 2024 by chef Nino Di Costanzo and pizza maestro Ivano Veccia. Guests signed NDAs and had their phones collected at the entrance to ensure full privacy.
Cliffside drama, real privacy, smooth logistics
Perched above the Bay of Naples, Punta Imperatore requires climbing 155 stone steps, which the couple turned into a quirky-lux moment by offering designer slippers (Gucci/Louis Vuitton). Then came the reception at Lisola, now among Ischia’s most talked-about restaurants.
A wedding weekend done right
Days before the wedding, the couple enjoyed San Pietro beach, Casamicciola, and Lacco Ameno. Mayor Vincenzo Ferrandino praised the island and the couple’s choice, highlighting the warm local welcome.
Serena Williams, the hands-on sister
Sister Serena helped coordinate styling and logistics (yes, including that “SIG.RA PRETI” hat moment spotted in Sant’Angelo), proving once again she’s the family’s ultimate doer.
Why couples love Ischia
