The fountain, built in 1867 by Neapolitan master Tito Angelini of Carrara marble, depicts the Amenano river as a young man holding a cornucopia from which water flows into a basin with a convex rim. The water overflowing from this tank creates a cascade effect that gives the feeling of a film.

Pozzo di Gammazita

Highlight • Historical Site

Inside the restaurant, the well where the legend concerning the outbreak of the Sicilian Vespers was born:
"It was March 30, 1282 and in the hot Catania, occupied by the hated French of Charles of Anjou, a girl, Gammazita, was with her boyfriend, when a French soldier, certain Drouet, with the excuse of looking for weapons hidden in his clothes The girl, feeling outraged, fled and, in order not to lose her honor, threw herself into a well, which still today, dried up, exists in Catania. This was the spark that started the Sicilian Vespers. "

Catania Fish Market (La Pescheria)

Highlight • Structure

“A piscaria” – in Sicilian dialect – is the ancient fish market of Catania. Located in the heart of the Etna city, it is located behind the Amenano fountain, also known as "Acqua o linzolu". The fish market in Catania, however, is not a simple market, it is a real experiential journey. Behind it are the arches of the Marina: there, where Villa Pacini now stands, there was once nothing but the sea.
