Having driven across Sicily from Palermo on the autostrade, I arrived in Catania and headed north towards Giarre. It was about 2:00am and I was very tired. I ended up behind a very large truck. It was dark but the back of the truck was open partially from the top. I thought I saw a tail swishing and thought it was an elephant. When I got to Codavolpe my hostess explained that the elephant is the symbol of Catania.

It is always an amazing entrance to watch - day and night! There are coffee shops and biscuits places next to it.You might be lucky to get a traditional local musician playing music. It is a place to watch the world go by! Just beautiful.

The Archimedes Statue is set in a very beautiful location by the bridges, and can easily be seen when entering or exiting the Island of Ortigia. Archimedes was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor and astronomer. The statue depicts Archimedes standing, holding a burning mirror in his right hand, directed towards the harbour, whilst in his left hand is a compass, symbolising the elements and the natural laws dominating the universe. My wife and I spent some time in this beautiful area just relaxing and watching the world go by.
