 TAORMINA -- Norman Harrison pointed out that Fontana Vecchia is one of the best-kept secrets of Taormina. Strangely, one can ask most native Taorminians where the house of D.H. Lawrence or Truman Capote is located and they would not be able to tell you. If fact, you would be hard pressed to find a single resident that even recognizes the names of these two famous writers. Yet, a street is named for Lawrence and another for the villa Fontana Vecchia. The natives go about their business without so much as a thought of these literary greats, as though they never existed. Perhaps it is the generation - more likely, it is because Taormina has been home to a multitude of famous residents.
