What you can expect
At the indicated time, we'll start this night tour of Catania from the central Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, where we'll admire the illumination of the iconic Teatro Massimo Bellini. Did you know that it's one of the reference centres for culture in Sicily?
After learning about the history of this temple of opera, we'll take a stroll through the San Berillo neighbourhood. We'll wander through its picturesque narrow streets, whose particular charm is even more attractive under the moonlight. We'll also see different urban murals, on which the artists have painted colourful and expressive graffiti.
Next, we'll walk along the emblematic Via Gemellaro and admire the illuminated façade of the Monte Sant'Agata bank. We'll also walk along Via dei Crociferi, an authentic open-air museum, as it's a street that houses dozens of architectural gems of the Sicilian Baroque.
The next stop will be in front of the Roman Amphitheatre of Catania, one of the largest in Sicily. We'll also stop in front of Castello Ursino, which was one of the few monuments in the city that withstood the earthquake of 1693.
Finally, after 3 hours tour, we'll cross Fish Market area, and we'll say goodbye in Piazza Duomo.

Itinerary
This is what our experience could look like, but it’s not set in stone! Once you book, you can chat directly with your host to make small tweaks to suit your preferences.
-
Bellini Opera House
The most iconic Opera House of east Sicily, built in 1890. Here we are in one of the most beautiful squares of Catania city -
San Berillo district
An old district in which in 2012 it was released an interesting street art project I want to show you -
Roman amphitheatre
Considered as a "black colosseum", this amphitheate is really peculiar becuase it developes for the most underneath, and I explain you why! -
Crociferi Street
Probably the most beautiful street in Catania city center. It's a street that houses dozens of architectural gems of the Sicilian Baroque. In less than 200 meters, there are 4 churches and 2 monasteries! -
Ursino Castle
One of the few medieval rests in Catania who had survived to the earthquake of 1693. This castle survived also to the terrific eruption in 1669, and I'll show apart of the lava which is still around the monument -
Fish Market
Probabley one of the most popular areas in catania, both in the morning and by night. We'll cross it by night, when these streets are populated with lot of life! -

More about me
Hiking Guide and Tour Guide!
If you want to discover Etna, some natural beauties in East Sicily, or cities like Catania, Syracuse or Taormina, contact me!
Six years ago gave life to a project, with the idea of shooting documentaries about each area of Sicily I visit, to document it through short videos and tell it to the viewers. Thanks to this idea, asking hospitality to the municipalities and, in return, I make a video, I have been discoverin tons of hidden natural, urban and archeological gems.
What's the aim of my ''withlocals'' profile? Show the travellers how much-hidden beauties we have in Sicily.
I want you to experience Sicily deeply as Sicilians do.
For this reason, thanks to my work of documentaries around Sicily (subtitled in English and many other languages) I am also known as “the popularizer of Sicilianity”!
My YT project is "Mirco Mannino - in Viaggio con Te", subtitled in many languages.
See you soon in Sicily!
