"Were a man to spend only one day in Sicily and ask, 'What must one see?' I would answer him without hesitation, 'Taormina'.
It is only a landscape, but a landscape where you find everything on earth that seems made to seduce the eyes, the mind and the imagination". ❤️

[The writer Guy de Maupassant (1850 - 1893) visited Sicily in 1885]

According to a terrible version of the myth, Phalaris himself was victim of his horrible creation".
