SICILIA ON MY MIND

Though the tour is not happening as originally scheduled, could I let 12 months go by without a return to Sicily? No way! ..I am now planning a trip in October when I will meet up with my US and Sicilian friends in Taormina for a week, then off to Ravenna for RAVENNAMUSIVA... (musiva is an Italian word and technical term that means the mosaic worker who sets tesserae.)

The conference will present research papers, lectures, workshops etc on ancient mosaic restoration and conservation.
Taking place concurrently in Ravenna is a month-long Mosaic Festival http://www.ravennamosaico.it/. I sogno dei mosaicisti! I promise to bring home information and post pictures.

TOUR UPDATE!... NON C'E

OK, well sad to say, but due to a 'lack of interest"..the Fall Mosaic Tour has been postponed for now..People you do not know what you are missing...:-) Thats OK though, Spring will bring another opportunity and maybe people will be feeling a bit more confident in the economy. I would like to thank IMA, MOSAICARTNOW, SFMOSAIC, for your interest and support in the planning efforts for the trip...check back often for updates!
