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.)
http://www.ravennamusiva.com/
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.
