This summer, the cultural conversation has been all about Christopher Nolan’s cinematic spin on the Homerian epic The Odyssey. One stage on Odysseus’ long and hazardous journey is close to our heart, and our home: the hero’s encounter with the Sirens. Le Sirenuse was named for the three islands on the horizon that make our sea view so special, where, legend has it, these fatally seductive creatures lay in wait for mariners. Inspired by the Siren motifs that have long been part of the hotel’s identity, art and décor, our videographer friends at Cultivar have created an evocative reel that lingers on our resident mermaids before sailing to the Siren Islands. The soundtrack is an extract from audio artist Chris Watson’s work Siren Songs – specially commissioned for Le Sirenuse, it is a collage of underwater recordings Chris made around the globe. You will hear waves breaking on the rocky shore of the Le Sirenuse islands – today more commonly known as Li Galli – followed by the haunting ‘song’ of grey seals, which some believe may have given rise to the myth of the Sirens. 🎥: @cultivarstudio 🖋️: @leesitaly Featured Artworks: Raimonda Gaetani, Sirens shell and glass mosaic, 1990s Caroline Bachmann, Le Sirenuse I-XX painting cycle, 2025 Lucy Stein, Mermaids, 2020 Raimonda Gaetani, Odysseus and the Sirens ceramic tiles, 1990s Audio track: Chris Watson, Siren Songs, 2026
