Ho visto con piacere il video su Catania. Sono un catanese DOC! Nato, cresciuto e pasciuto in questa città che amo. Ho lavorato per quasi 30 anni al Comune di Catania, alla Direzione Cultura - Assessorato alla Cultura, che nell'ultimo decennio ha come sede il "Palazzo della Cultura" (ex convento di San Placido). Ho apprezzato anche le didascalie dei vari luoghi e monumenti. Certo il video non poteva essere esaustivo, ma si vede tanto. Mi dispiace immensamente per tutti quei graffiti che deturpano anche i luoghi più belli ed importanti della città. Purtroppo non è così semplice debellare questo fenomeno di inciviltà. Tante volte come amministrazione siamo intervenuti per ripulire dai graffiti (anche via Crociferi), ma l'educazione e la civiltà non è facile farla attecchire. Per colpa di pochi questa città viene "violentata" sistematicamente. Il vandalismo è una vera piaga insieme alla strafottenza di tanti. La corruzione non c'entra nulla. Comunque grazie per questo bellissimo video sul centro storico della mia città che amo da sempre.

Seeing the ugly graffiti everywhere ☹️. I wish people had more respect, especially for places like Catania. So rich in history and beautiful architecture.

After watching your vids for almost 5 hours, I feel if I were being in Italy, remembering tastes, smells, wonderful colours and friendly feelings.... Thank you so much Prowalk

[POJOKCREATOR]

Big city with the extremelly good ancient remains, wonderfull

[lucialarocca-taylor]

I'm originally from Catania and I usually go back once a year to visit my family but unfortunately this year I wasn't able to go due to covid. I'm terribly home sick but this wonderful video helped me feeling a little closer to my beautiful city. Thank you 😊

[slkonnaris]

Oh my goodness this video is perfect! The quality is truly excellent. The way you capture everything, it makes me feel like I am actually there walking around the city with you real time. Thank you sincerely for bringing us this beauty as well as the fascinating information. You allow us to learn so much that we never knew before. GRAZIE MILLE!!

i love SICILY CITY ITALY . I AM FROM DHAKA CITY, BANGLADESH

[Ms.Tee]

Watching this from LI, NY, with my 89yr old Mother. She’s truly enjoying it, she said she know she won’t ever make it here but this walk is the closest thing. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.

[SocyGeography]

I'm utterly mesmerized by the rich cultural tapestry of Catania showcased in this video. The juxtaposition of ancient ruins with bustling modern life, the tantalizing array of fresh seafood at the markets, and the architectural marvels like the Carl V gate - it's like stepping into a living museum of Sicilian heritage.

[salvolondon]

That’s my city .... I love it and sometimes I hate it at the same time ... but I mostly love it and despite having lived abroad for several years I always felt the need to comeback ... it’s home .

[sansovino]

the roman theatre is really a powerful urban layer...good job!

[gabrieletrovato]

I like the way you present my city.
Unfortunately my city has many problems, it is one thing to visit a city, it is another to live and grow up there.
Catania could live on tourism, instead when I see that public transport is inefficient and a tourist is forced to rent a car to visit the towns near the city and even the island I get very angry.
Fortunately there is the good side to tell and I am extremely happy that you do.
Your videos are very useful for learning English.
Thank you very much

[stevegrenfell]

Such a wonderful video. Thank you for making it. I visited for 2 days a couple of years ago and spent hours just walking like this. The city really appealed to me and this video brought it all flooding back.

[DavidDragonhammer]

So much sadness, but also so much beauty, the romans were one of best builders, Like any huge city. some plight, but so many building of beauty as well.

[nuriazofe]

Очень люблю гулять в таком формате. Где привлекло внимание, туда и иду. Катания великолепна! Спасибо большое. Очень понравилось!

[mypointofview]

To be perfectly honest, this is the first Italian city I've seen that has architecture that truly pleases the eyes. I've been to the Eternal city, Florence and Venice. While the public important buildings are very beautiful the homes for ordinary Italians are quite ugly which makes me sad for them. This is the first place that I feel is alive and beautiful despite the graffiti. Thank you for the tour
