Catania
by Olga Grasso
Description
Catania, a lively and colorful city, always in frenetic activity, like the volcano that dominates it behind it and at the same time watches over it. If you walk through its streets you are kidnapped by the contrast between the bright colors of the markets ... of the fruit ... of the goodies that tempt you and the black basalt of its streets. You are overwhelmed by a warm and salty sea breeze and then ... sudden ... turning the corner a cold breath reminds you of the presence ... stop ... imposing ... fascinating of the volcano. And it is Etna, with its white snow mantle lying on expanses of volcanic slag, that defines the skyline of this city, that paints the sky with shades of red to black. Etna is the protagonist of this canvas.
