The Legend of the Sicilian Moor's heads:
The Moor’s Heads represent the impossible love of a young couple.
The girl was Sicilian and had noble origins, while her lover was a young Arab.
When their love affair was discovered,
her family cruelly punished them both by beheading them.
Their heads were then turned into vases and hung as warnings on a balcony.
In the hall,
Hotel Bel Soggiorno, Taormina, Sicily, Italy
