What to do and see in Centro Catania, Sicily: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

September 13, 2021 Renato Branum

Catania has been a prize of many empires over the centuries, from Greeks to Romans to Arabs to Normans to Spaniards (to name a few). But its citizens have a more dangerous enemy right in their backyard—Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano, which destroyed the city with earthquakes and lava flows in 1693. Look closely at the baroque buildings dating from after the eruption—you'll notice a creative use of lava.

Reviewed By stephboyardee_x - Palermo, Italy

My mother and I hunted for so long to find a good vintage shop in Catania and stumbled across this one on our last day while going to lunch. This shop was AMAZING. The owner of the shop has so much love for her items and knows them well. She has everything from leather jackets, to boots, belts, wallets, jewelry and a beautiful collection of vintage leather bags ( I could have dropped a ton of money in here if I didn't have to fly home). The woman in the shop also asked us what we liked and helped us find things (we needed it, there were so many things to look at) and also polished our leather goods as we were checking out to make sure our goods looked extra fine ;). Please Please Please go here and take a look around. You will be sure to find something amazing and completely unique!
