I think this must be taken on the streets for festivals because it had long handles. It was inside St Pancras , a chiesa built on the ruins of a Greek temple of Jupiter.
Just up the hill are the ruins of a small Roman Odeon.
Some impressions of the town
The beautiful Piazza 1x Aprile
I wasn’t very interested in going to Taormina because it’s such a tourist trap, but of course there’s a reason for that – it’s stunning! I’ll be back in a few days to share some more photos.
Farewell for now.

Love the ancient stone and sculptures against the stark, rocky landscape – stunning, indeed.
I was there too. I loved it and wish I was there right this minute! Beautiful!
