Sandwiched between the watchful eye of the "gentle" volcano Mt. Etna and cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea, Taormina is, indeed, the jewel of Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The area was first inhabited by the Siculi long before the Greeks arrived on the Sicilian coast in 734 BC. Over the centuries, Taormina became a cultural and arts center, hosting such famous names as Goethe, D. H. Lawrence, Truman Capote, and Tennessee Williams among many others. Since 1960, this medieval city has held the Taormina Film Fest. Sitting on the ancient steps of Teatro Greco and watching the films that come for this event is just amazing. Oooh, Ovid may have sat here! Or Pliny the Elder! Both wrote here and took their inspiration from this area. Tallest of the European volcanoes, Mt. Etna is also one of the world's most active, having been in a state of near-continuous eruption for half a million years with documentation going back to 1500 B.C. Etna's eruptions have caused very few deaths, thus its "gentle volcano" reputation, because the lava flows are slow, and the eruptions are not particularly explosive. The flanks of Mt. Etna, with its hard-scrabble soil, produce some amazing wines.
Don't forget all those scenes from The Godfather. Some of them were filmed in the area in which we hold our workshop! We'll be based right in the beautiful, historic, and vibrant Taormina, with its wonderful little alleys, fun piazzas, and great food and wine. You cannot go wrong here.
After all, Sicily is as much about food and wine as it is about the ancient history and magnificent scenery.  For those who want to see a day touring wine country with Turi, check out Tutti Turi Tour on our YouTube site. It has gotten a lot of favorable reviews, including people who would like to carry our bags!Margo and Arnie look forward to returning here and showing you some of their favorite locations where you'll be able to celebrate your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills, and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs. Plan on staying on to see some of the rest of this wonderful island with its ancient history, as this is large island, too big to cover in a workshop where we can only give you a mere taste ... but what a taste it will be!
We start out with some technical information before heading out for our first shoot. Our workshops include the following:
