One of Italy’s most historic holiday resorts, Taormina is a picturesque town perched on a slope high above the Ionian Sea on the eastern coast of Sicily. Famed for the views, the ancient ruins, the seaside, the town’s film festival, an outdoor theatre season and not forgetting Etna. Close to the site of one of the earliest colonies founded by the Ancient Greeks in Sicily, Taormina became a thriving Greek and then Roman town. The size and elegance of the town cathedral and many of its buildings are evidence of Taormina’s moderate prosperity over the centuries. By the end of the 19th century this picturesque and ancient town was already on the tourist trail, with famous visitors including Oscar Wilde, Richard Wagner, and Tsar Nicholas II. This piece of artwork features a beach-side bar on a beautiful sunny day at the height of summer.
