| MESSINA & REGGIO CALABRIA |
| These two towns will supposedly be connected by a suspension bridge sometime this century. We shall see…Messina is definitely the more interesting province of the two, but as we shall see soon, Reggio should not be missed. |
 |
| Messina’s cathedral. Like any other church in Italy, except for its bell! It plays religious tunes every fifiteen minutes! |
 |
| The National Museum of Reggio, which houses the oldest Greek bronze statues in the world. They date from the 5th century BC, and the body detail is even better than Michelangelo’s David…. |
 |
| The sea coast of Reggio. cosnsidered by one of Italy’s most famous poets, Gabriele D’Annunzio, to be the « most beautiful kilometer in Italy ». Actually, he was wrong, because it’s even longer than that! |
 |
| Taormina. Too bad the Expos didn’t consider this place as their new home. I don’t care what they do to RFK in DC, it won’t come close to this! |
