Il Sole Siciliano
At the crossroads of civilizations
10-12 March 2017
Catania, Sicily
Il Sole Siciliano
is held in support of the
victims of the earthquakes of central Italy
The first evening sets the mood for the whole weekend! The
doors of a stately private home will open to host a buffet dinner, mixing
and mingling, and dancing master-classes. We will refresh some basic
dances and learn a few new ones! By the end of the evening, you will
be confident enough to open the ball with a polonaise, continue with a
Viennese Waltz, meet midnight with a franaise, and throw in some
knotentanz, tango and salsa all along!

A unique visit to the Casa Cuseni. Built by the artist Robert Kitson
in 1900 and looked after by his niece, the author, Daphne Phelps, until
her death, Casa Cuseni is truly a place of old-world romance.
Surrounded by 13 garden terraces and fountain courts, the villa
hosted the artistic, philosophical and literary elite of the world- Greta
Garbo and Pablo Picasso, Ezra Pound and DH Lawrence, Tennessee
Williams and Roald Dahl, Henry Faulkner and Bertrand Russell- all
stayed here to enrich their genius with new emotions and inspiration.
No wonder the view from here is breathtaking!
The dining-room at Casa Cuseni is the greatest example of Art
Nouveau in Sicily, and the whole room was designed by Sir Frank

An early spring Sunday, sunny and beautiful. You can still smell
freshness in the air, as you look out of the window on foggy hills, and
notice just a bit of snow on Etnas steaming top. Holidays, freedom
Put on your countryside outfits and head for a stroll through the
vineyards, wine and olive oil tasting, and lunch with wine.
