Olivia Carmignani at San Domenico Palace Hotel – Taormina is a dream

Olivia Carmignani at San Domenico Palace Hotel – Sensuality as true power of love and beauty

He was looking for quiet places, away from the innovations of civilization, and Taormina had the qualities he sought. One day he wrote to his friend in England: “I found a beautiful house with a garden.” That house, located in Via Fontana Vecchia, made him happy. From here D.H Lawrence, looking out from the balcony of his room, could admire a magnificent landscape with the coast of Calabria as background. “The sensuality as true power of love, in the instictive and healthy hug with nature”

This are words that evoke a certain charm and you can not fully understand them until the fate does not want you to test by yourself. The destiny, such a strange word. Able to cross names, people, stories, images, environments, views, meanings, emotions of wich you cannot be aware. Until you find yourself sitting in front of a coffee, fascinated by the colors of the sunset and a strong smell of orange blossoms that spread in the air to symbolize something that can not be defined but is strong. And it all takes shape. Continue reading by clicking >

We are at San Domenico Palace Hotel, an ancient Dominican monastery converted to luxury hotels, magnificent expression of good Italian living,  image of a Sicily that never fails to surprise and excite.

We walked through orange and lemon trees of a garden ousted from the common reality. And I thought, what’s the real reason I’m here? “He answered, with a sort of desperate courage, with which sometimes the reason challenges the force, how to make it feels that, at any point of arrival, it will never become reason (The column of infamy – Alessandro Manzoni)

I thought such a dilemma as both seem to affirm and deny at the same time. So? So nothing, I captured the moment. How to want to immortalize that intense scent of joy for life.

Then the memory takes over that separates you from the reality in a last attempt to embrace the sensual and instinctive nature that has entered into you.

Scritto da Vincenzo Girasoli

Una vita ad immaginare e costruire un futuro che non è mai stato così chiaro e limpido. Fatto di emozioni inesauribili alla vista dei colori che questo mio Paese sa ogni giorno regalarmi. Ho viaggiato, senza mai stancarmi, per poi fermarmi dinanzi al blu del mio Mediterraneo. Lì capire che qualcosa di grande e profondo, intenso e meraviglioso, stava accadendomi; e che non mi sarei mai più fermato. Tuffandomi in quel mare sapevo che non avrei più potuto tornare indietro. Al contempo sapevo che i brividi che mi percorrevano sarebbero stati i vostri. E che insieme avremmo corso sempre più veloce verso qualcosa di puro, autentico, genuino, felice. Qualcosa che con orgoglio chiamo Idressitalian.
