Catania

Catania, capital of the province of Catania, is located on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy. Located at the foot of volcanic Mount Etna, Catania is Sicily’s second largest city. With a population of around 306,000 inhabitants, the city has the second highest population density on the island.
The best time to visit this city is between the months of June and August, when the climate is cool and pleasant and highly favourable for outdoor activities.     
Founded by the Sicels, the area was conquered by the Romans; soon Catania became the most prosperous Sicilian city. During the middle ages, the area served as an important port.
Fishing and agriculture are important occupations practiced in Catania. Tourism is also an important money-earning sector.

Overall Guide : Seriouly poor tourist information. Even tourist guide books, in various language, are unavailable in tabbachis / bookstores. Do you want tourists The lack of exchange/cambio facilicties is disgraceful. What are your Banks for? Do they want business. Go anywhere else ... Leggi tutto in the world and you can change money without too much a problem. Cantania Banks still live in the financial dark ages. Get it fixed. You reallly need a tourist supremo to organise things.
