The city of Catania is having difficulty in raising sufficient funds to stage its second Bellini Festival, due to begin on 29th November. I'm sad about this as the city is justly proud of its most famous son, whose birthplace is one of the nicest museums of its kind anywhere. And you just have to like a composer who inadvertently graced a pasta dish with the name of his best known heroine.
The Catanesi are hoping that the Regional Government will come up with the funds but just in case it doesn't, let's have a mini Bellini festa on Sicily Scene tonight.

Very appropriate, WW!
Let's hope someone can find a generous sponsor.
I like WW's idea too.
Yes, let's hope so, Ellee.
