Hospitality Design - October 2017 - 97

In the bar, Artist Rossana Taormina created a portrait of a man
linked to a green-painted wall by a woven wire

wallcoverings throughout the hotel. As a
tribute to the pink birds that would linger in
the fountain in Giardino Bellini park, a largerthan-life flamingo by Domenico Pellegrino
peers into the reception area. And to establish
a sense of place, artist Rossana Taormina was
tasked with "telling the story of an imaginary
owner of the palace," says Minaldi, which
she translated into a portrait of a man sitting
with a map, linked to a green background wall
by a woven wire. "These areas of the hotel
artistically recall the places where the social
and cultural life of Catania used to take place,"
he adds.

The revered Saint Agata receives much fanfare in his namesake
room with a black and white mural of an adoring crowd

In the Proserpina room, a structure of iron and tissue that
represents a greenhouse is set under a frescoed ceiling

Each of the six guestrooms tells a
different story. In the Proserpina room,
the goddess of grain and architecture is
reinterpreted as a greenhouse made of iron
and tissue set under a beautiful frescoed
ceiling. The Uzeta room recalls the valiant
knight who defeated the Saracen giants,
noted in a large ceramic alligator and a
headboard of overlapping leather pieces
studded in armor-inspired brass. The Aci and
Galatea room, meanwhile, tells the story of
the fabled lovers by separating the two beds
with a green fabric weave.
There's a myth in Catania that a fire

beneath the sea feeds Mount Etna, evidenced
in the Coalpesce room where red velvet
drapes surround a blue-patterned wall,
while the Eliodoro room tells the origin
of the elephant-the town's symbol-in a
headboard covered in tiles that replicate the
texture of the animal's skin. Arguably the
most dramatic is the Agata room, an homage
to the revered patron saint of the city. The
canopy bed is covered in a translucent veil,
which sits between a deep red carpet and a
white latticed-pattern ceiling light installation
flanked on either side by black and white
murals of an awestruck and adoring crowd.
