Italian-American pop icon Madonna has marked her 64th and her son Rocco Ritchie’s 22nd birthdays in Sicily’s famed Val di Noto. She chose the town of Pachino near Siracusa for celebrating the birthday of the son she had with British film director Guy Ritchie on August 11, 2000.

Madonna is also celebrating her own 64th  birthday in another nearby Baroque jewel, the lavish palazzo Castelluccio at Noto. The singer was born Madonna Louise Ciccone on August 16, 1958, in Bay City, Michigan, to Catholic parents Madonna Louise (née Fortin) and Silvio Anthony “Tony” Ciccone.
