’For a volcano to appear, as if in a dream'. This room at the The Atelier sul Mare, a museum hotel in Sicily, by the artist Mauricio Staccioli was inspired by the form and colours of the volcano that dominate the Sicilian landscape and its peoples’ minds. The walls are made out of a knead containing the Etna's lava. The Atelier was conceived by the eccentric billionaire Antonio Presti, who has always striven to elevate “an alternative" art.
