Hi, really great and well written tips on Catania. I've been to Catania, but I seem to have missed a lot. Should have got a member in VT sooner :)
Real great Catania pages make me looking forward to my visit in January.
thanks ICBT, this is beautiful and mouth-watering :-)
All of the placards are in Italian only! Several employees speak English though. It is still well worth the trip!
