SICILY

Part 3: Mount Etna, Taormina and the North-east

13 - 19 October 2010

Lecturer: Dr Roberto Cobianchi         

This third part of our Art Pursuits Sicilian trilogy will combine spectacular works of art and architecture with sublime nature. Our base will be the lively town of Taormina, dominated by its antique theatre, affording dramatic views over the bay of Naxos and towards Mount Etna. From there we will visit the cities of Catania and Messina, and cross by ferry to Calabria to pay homage to the exquisite bronze statues of Riace, the finest to survive from Greek antiquity. The ascent to Mount Etna will be the crowning highlight of your Sicilian experience.
