Calici di Stelle returns to Cantine Florio in 2024

The 2024 Calici di Stelle programme began with a tour of the historic barrel rooms, followed by an aperitif and a four-course fish dinner on Terrazza Florio prepared by Emanuele Russo of Ristorante Le Lumie. The concluding concert-narration, La stella d’Italia: Franca Florio e i fasti della Belle Époque, traced Donna Franca’s personal story against Sicilian and European history from the Belle Époque to the First World War. Consuelo Giglio, author of La musica nell’età dei Florio, advised the production, which used songs, romances and instrumental works connected with Donna Franca.
