Even international stars can’t resist the allure of a Sicilian granita and stop at Bambara, a famous restaurant in Taormina, for a refreshing break from the cinema. Among the VIPs seen this year was Khabi Lam, the most followed TikToker in the world who, after losing his job during the pandemic, took social media by storm with his sarcastic and speechless videos. took. The young Senegalese Bambaar who came to Taormina to present his first short film couldn’t resist the Granita counter.
