I read your various articles on The White Lotus with interest; I had never heard of the show until we visited Taormina in Sicily, where the new series is set, at Easter. Filming was in full flight, as was the drone that buzzed across the town every morning, presumably collecting establishing shots of the area. It regularly settled above the terrace of our flat, directly behind the San Domenico Palace hotel.
I was out each morning starting the day with an espresso or two and developed something of a relationship with the drone – raising my cup in greeting, thumbing my nose, or offering the internationally understood double-finger signal skywards. I doubt that any of these shots made the final cut – but I might have to watch the series anyway, just in case.
