A self-portrait by Renaissance
genius Leonardo da Vinci will be shown at the Group of Seven
summit in Taormina on May 26-27.
The Lucan portrait, attributed to Leonardo, was unveiled in
the former Carmine church on Tuesday and will remain on show
until June, when it will be moved to Catania until February.
"It is a day of extraordinary emotion," said regional tourism
councillor Anthony Barbagallo.
"Tourists coming to spend their holidays in Sicily will know
that as well as the traditional excellent attractions of our
region they will have a chance to admire an enchanting and
intriguing work".
