New School Location for the Taormina 50 Plus Program

Early in 2009, our partner school in Taormina, Sicily decided to expand their operations and move to a larger facility. Since spring 2009, they have been working tirelessly to restore a beautiful Italian Villa located just 200 metres from Taormina's Greek Theatre ruins. In addition to the new building, students will enjoy a 600 square metre botanical garden where they can study, chat with friends or just relax and take in the scenery. Both the Villa and the garden are protected by the Sovrintendenza alle Belle Arti (the national Agency for the preservation of Art and Monuments).

Our partner school in Taormina will transform into a true Cultural Centre open to both local residences and international students. There will be book presentations by authors, Cine-Forums, exhibitions of paintings and sculptures and live theater performances and concerts.

The video below shows how the new Villa looked in February 2009. The restoration is schedule for completion in January 2010.
