Playing the piano in Milo🎹 — the village is situated on a magnificent vantage point with views of Mount Etna and the sea. In the center stands an impressive, life-size bronze statue of Lucio Dalla and Franco Battiato, two of the most influential Italian musicians of the 20th century. A moving place that brings together music, art, and nature.
