The Aeolian Islands (Sicily) have the most important grave goods of Greek masks in the world. They were discovered by archaeologist Luigi Bernabò Brea in 1948 in the necropolis of Lipari and they are preserved in the Aeolian Archeological Museum. If the humanity now knows the characters of the Greek theater, it is because of these masks. A young explorer, Vanessa, will drive this journey discovering and revealing the reasons of the ancient relationship between the people of the Aeolian Islands and the cult of the Mask. The event of the modern Aeolian Carnival becomes a tale that narrates the anxieties and dreams of ordinary people who face death through the power and the symbols of the mask.

The final event in the Mediterranean sailing calendar, the Rolex Middle Sea Race continues to be a special experience.

Tactically demanding and with fast changing weather conditions which require supreme skill, endurance, and patience, it is one of sailing's ultimate tests.
