SCHOOL LOCATION
The school will be hosted by Hotel Village Baia
Samuele in Punta Sampieri - Scicli (RG), Sicily from 6-11 July 2009.
Sicily is one of the most beautiful island of the Mediterranean Area.
The island is very rich in archeological sites from various Ancient
Civilizations. The sea, weather, food and the wine are excellent.
In particular Punta Sampieri - Scicli (RG) is located in the South-eastern
of Sicily in a late Baroque area called Val di Noto. The Val di Noto
area is inserted in the Unesco World Heritage List including eight towns:
Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo,
Ragusa and Scicli.
The location of the school rises in the middle of an ample bay delimited
on the west from Sampieri and on the east from a bluff, on which is
founded an ancient furnace, rare example of industrial archaeology.
The
Hotel Village “Baia Samuele” stretches in a sweet slant
to the beach: 120 thousand square meters delimited from rows of secular
cypresses. An ultramodern village with an original architecture, pleasant
design and all comforts you can imagine. The frame of plants and flowers,
typical of this angle of Sicily, in front of the island of Malta, completes
this gilded dream of the Mediterranean.
