About Tonnara Foderà di Magazzinazzi
Tonnara Foderà di Magazzinazzi transforms a historic tuna fishery into a working venue where ceremonies unfold against the Tyrrhenian Sea and receptions span indoor dining rooms and open-air terraces.
Built into Sicily's coastline near Alcamo, the property sleeps 22 guests on-site while accommodating up to 300 for celebrations, with flexibility to host welcome events, beach ceremonies, and multi-day festivities.
Its operational character, part accommodation, part event space, means your wedding occupies an active cultural landmark rather than a dedicated function hall.
