Excerpt from In Sicily, Vol. 2: 1896-1898-1900
The huge square dining-room, to which we made our way as soon as possible, was the ballroom Of the palace. Its lofty, vaulted ceiling is spiritedly frescoed with the Judgment Of Paris - most Sicilians would have followed the Judgment Of Paris. It is, I think the only room I have ever dined in where the table was set diagonally. It ran the whole way from corner to corner Of this very fine chamber, which was tiled with gorgeous Old Spanish tiles, the special characteristic Of which is that it generally takes a dozen or two to make one pattern.
