Opening Ceremony: Teatro Antico di Taormina

Built in the 3rd century BC by the Greeks and later expanded by the Romans, today the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, with its 109 m diameter cavea, is, after the one in Syracuse, the largest theatre not only in Sicily, but also in the Italian peninsula and Africa.

However, it is undoubtedly the most spectacular, thanks to its stunning panoramic view over the Gulf of Schisò, with the majestic silhouette of Mount Etna in the background.
