Description

abandoned balcony in Taormina, Sicily, Italy.

Taormina is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Messina, on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy. Taormina has been a tourist destination since the 19th century. Its beaches on the Ionian sea, including that of Isola Bella, are accessible via an aerial tramway built in 1992, and via highways from Messina in the north and Catania in the south.

Taormina inspired the naming of 'Toormina', a suburb of Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia.

The Cole Porter song "Where is the Life That Late I Led" from the musical "Kiss Me, Kate" references Taormina.

A part of the movie The Big Blue (1988) was set and filmed in Taormina, where the main characters take part in the no limits freediving World Championships.

The British songwriter Mark Knopfler evokes the town in his song "Lights of Taormina" in his 2015 album Tracker.

D.H. Lawrence signed his poem "Snake" with the word "Taormina" --perhaps the location of his "petty" encounter. (Descrption from Wikipedia and holeinthedonut.com)
