EDITORS COMMENTS
Taormina, Sicily, Italy - King Edward VII at the Grand Hotel S. Domenico (walking in The Cloister), 1907: A Regal Holiday in the Mediterranean In this evocative black-and-white photograph, King Edward VII of England, also known as 'Edward the Peacemaker' and 'Bertie,' is seen taking a leisurely stroll through the tranquil cloister of the Grand Hotel S. Domenico in Taormina, Sicily, Italy. Dressed in a smart suit and hat, the monarch appears relaxed and at ease, as if enjoying a well-deserved respite from his royal duties. The Grand Hotel S. Domenico, a luxurious spa and resort, was a popular destination for European royalty and aristocrats during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. King Edward's visit in 1907 was just one of many trips he made to the Mediterranean coast to enjoy the warm climate, beautiful scenery, and rejuvenating waters. As he walks through the cloister, King Edward doffs his hat as a sign of respect and etiquette towards the Sicilian nuns who resided in the adjacent convent. The potted plants and lush greenery that surround him add to the idyllic setting, creating a sense of serenity and peace. This photograph captures a moment in history when the British monarch embraced the allure of Taormina and Sicily, and offers a glimpse into the opulent world of royal vacations and Mediterranean getaways of the past.
