Mize Clan Italy 2006

Isola Lipari, Aeolie islands 27 6N 14 55E

This shack with the bar sign is The Place to stop for celebrities like Michael Douglas and George Clooney. The proprietor is Atilia posing for this shot.

We couldn't understand much of what he said but he was very friendly despite his name, and he kept bringing us excellent food from somewhere out of the back of his shack.

Reminded me of Marly's bar in Cozumel except Atilia didn't even have a car battery .. music provided by an old beat up boom box.
------------------
The former name of Lipari was "Meligunis" a Greek word meaning "sweet": maybe this name is due to its mild weather that allowed human settlements since 3.500-2.000 B.C. The main business in the villages of the island wasthe obsidian trade. Periods of development and prosperity came acroos until 1.800 B.C., when in Lipari came the civilization of Capo Graziano. This great development allowed the inhabitants of the island to count on many trade jobs and to become outspot of the Greek. During XIII century, both people coming from Italy (like Ausoni, Phoenix and Etruscans) and people coming from Greece(Cnido and Rodi) established in Lipari. During the Roman domination, Lipari was a well known SPA.
