Glimpses of a dream
Nature in Taormina
Every corner of Taormina carries with it a distant call, a song that captivates by asking those who feel it to be discovered.
There are two places in particular where Taormina shows itself in all its beauty:
Piazza IX Aprile, which with its belvedere embraces the triad of Etna, Giardini Naxos and the Ancient Theater
The Villa Comunale, an oasis of peace where you can admire changing views, with bougainvillea and flowering plants that make the place a true bucolic paradise.
Artists in Taormina
Thanks to the mild climate and evocative views, the city has always been a crossroads for writers and artists, who are dazzled by the light emanating from the city, in an epiphany of recognition: the artist who meets art and the art that unveils itself to the artist.
Among the illustrious personalities, Edmondo De Amicis, Alexandre Dumas, Guy de Maupassant are remembered, but also Ernst Hemingway, who spent a few weeks in convalescence at the Duke of Bronte, giving life, according to the testimonies, to the first story of his literary career: “The mercenaries”.
