First visit today will be to the town ofCatalgirone, famous since Arab times for its ceramics. There are many workshopswhich can be visited as well as the Museo della Ceramica. Highlight of the daythough will be the next stop at Piazza Amerina and the stunning Roman Villa delCasale. This is without doubt the finest Roman remain in Sicily and has the mostamazing collection of polychrome mosaics to be seen anywhere. What makes themso incredible is that they are not in a museum but in situ, as they were laid.There are hunting scenes and more exotic mythical scenes and both floors andwalls are covered. Most remarkable of all are the scenes in the gymnasium,which could grace any modern gym, with girls in bikinis, exercising and playingball! The villa consists of 40 rooms in all.
