An antique and objets d'art shop window on the Corso Umberto, Taormina, Sicily. The paintings are of the Greco-Roman Theatre that is one of the town's main tourist attractions for those who have had enough of the beach for a while.

About this place:

The Corso Umberto is the main street through the ancient town of Taormina, Sicily. The narrow, mostly pedestrian-only street runs from one medieval gate to the other (passing through a third on the way). It is punctuated still by old church and cathedral piazzas, but the streets are lined with boutiques catering the town's well-heeled tourists and filled at night with residents and visitors hunting the narrow alleys that branch off the Corso for pizzerias and trendy bars.
