Taormina by Gianni Carta

Italy: Stroll along Corso Umberto I, the thoroughfare in Taormina, Sicily, that starts at Porta Messina and climbs up gently to Porta Catania: besides the fun of studying the different faces in the crowd, there are the tempting tables of restaurants and cafes in the open air and the elegant shops. And at any stage you can plunge into one of the side-streets - there will be, I guarantee, unexpected smells and sights ahead. Gianni Carta
