Fashion world in Sicily mourns Antonio Milia: renowned for wedding creations
Mourning in Canicattì and in the world of fashion in Sicily. Antonio Milia, a pillar of the local economy, considered a visionary who has transformed the fashion scene not only in the city of Agrigento but throughout Sicily, has passed away.
His work with the nuns of the convent is famous, creating unique wedding dresses that have captured national and international attention. Thanks to his entrepreneurial skills and impeccable taste, he has turned Canicattì into a reference point for high-end bridal fashion.
“This beautiful snapshot portrays two people that I had the great pleasure of knowing in a particular working moment of my life and who unfortunately are no longer with us. Sandra Milo, whom I had the pleasure of meeting through dear friend Antonio Milia and who served as the godmother at the baptism of the first issue of my editorial adventure with the quarterly ‘Sposa Chic Magazine’ – writes Enzo Abate on social media – An amiable woman with whom I had the opportunity to converse several times, even on very personal and family matters, exposing her humanity and surprising sensitivity contrary to the character of a scatterbrain artistically assigned to her. Great friend of Antonio or, as he called her, ‘my sister Sandra,’ a strong, sincere affectionate relationship of great respect. I believe Sandra Milo’s death greatly affected Antonio Milia’s life both in his daily mood and mainly in his health. Today, having received and then read that Antonio has passed away following a sudden illness, I can affirm that it was news I never would have imagined and that deeply shocked and saddened me. Antonio was a capable and daring entrepreneur, his Atelier in Canicattì a regional reference point in the sale of wedding dresses, always ready to meet the needs not only of customers but also as an employer towards his employees. With friends, he was always a reference point, his generosity was omnipresent, and for this reason he was always well-liked by the many of us who had known and frequented him. Our last meeting was twenty days ago in San Leone, and we had planned to see each other after the Easter holidays for dinner. Before parting, he reminded me not to forget to inform him about the next concert of the orchestra as he wanted to be present. Dear Antonio, I never would have imagined meeting you again in such different conditions. I will miss seeing you again, but the memory of the kind and affectionate person you have been to me will always remain vivid in my mind. Have a safe journey, my dearest friend, and I am certain that you will meet again, give my regards to Sandra.”
