[@MaurizioLello]

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.

[@mariainespuigchinet]

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

[@ProWalks]

5 hours! lol..that is great. :) I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. They have been fun to make. Glad they remind you of your own travels.

[@rachelnoy7551]

I am due to arrive to catania on 30.11 2021. I am 62 years old. Me and my husband are looking for a local person to show us catnia. Who is ready to do it for some money?

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 😊

[@ProWalks]

Ciao Lucia, I'm glad the video helped out a bit. :) How'd I do? This was my first time visiting Catania.

[@Mrmannycalvera]

Ciao Lucia sono Enzo , come stai? Sei sempre a Londra? Io niente sempre alla Conad al banco salumeria. Si tira a campare. Mio zio Totino quello della carne di cavallo a piazza Dante ha chiuso. Mio cugino Gnazio sempre lì all'edicola lavora. Tu che si dice la a Londra? Ti saluta mia sorella Rosina, che si è sposata e ora c'ha 4 figli. Ciao fatti sentire ogni tanto. Tante cose

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.

[@ProWalks]

I am so glad to hear that. I am going back to Catania in a couple weeks to film some new walks. Is there anything new you'd like to see in the next Catania walking tour?

[@s.picone]

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

[@FrancineOutsideStreets]

I agree S. Picone. Graffiti should stop and people should be more conscious about it..

[@arielsea9087]

Where are the schools?

[@my.epicearth]

don't understand

[@1000GráW]

That is the new art

[@mypointofview1111]

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

[@ProWalks]

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed it and found something unique about Catania. I enjoyed my time there and would like to go back.

[@slkonnaris8477]

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!!

[@gabrieletrovato853]

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

[@ProWalks]

Hey, glad to hear you enjoyed the video. This was my first time visiting Catania. I really enjoyed it. I've been living in Napoli for the last 8 years and have often thought about filming a video about what it is like to live here as opposed to just visit as a tourist. I didn't want to film all the roads filled with garbage and post that up though. I want to try and present the good side of Naples..and Catania. THanks for watching!

[@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 .

[@ProWalks]

I hope you enjoyed the video. This was my first time visiting Catania. I really enjoyed exploring it on my ebike.

[@salvolondon]

@@ProWalks yeah you made it well . Catania had her best years in the late 90s early 2000 ... Now it is kind of not as good as it used to be

[@MysterioustravelTV]

I love how detailed this walking tour is! It feels like I’m walking through the streets of Catania myself. The captions were super helpful for understanding the history and landmarks.

[@POJOKCREATOR]

Big city with the extremelly good ancient remains, wonderfull

[@POJOKCREATOR]

@vittorio messina WONDERFULL

[@rajatsubhradas3667]

It appears I am walking through the city streets. This should be the feeling what one should get from a walking tour. The pause and the genuine turns are exceptional .

[@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.

[@ProWalks]

I'll be going back to Catania in a couple weeks. Is there something different you'd like to see in the new walking tour?

[@stevegrenfell1421]

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.

[@ProWalks]

Hey Steve, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I really liked Catania. I brought me e-bike with me and really had a good time riding all around the city.

[@ProWalks]

Hey, glad you enjoyed the captions. For this walk, I asked a Catania tour guide to write them up for me.

[@just2incredible]

Thank you for a great tour. My family comes from Catania. I need to visit where my family is from. After seeing this, I have to go there!

[@ProWalks]

Hey, you are very welcome. Yes, that sounds like a great idea, and there is so much in the surrounding areas that obviously is not in this video. You could easily spend a vacation in that area. Taormina and Siracusa are both easy days trips from Catania. I drove from Catania to Taormina, filmed a tour, and then drove to Syracuse...walked all around in the evening and drove back to Catania all in the same day.

[@JoannaRRios1]

I lived in Motta S' Anastasia from approx. 1968-1970. My husband was stationed at the US Naval Air Facility at Sigonella, Sicily. I was 19 years old and had never been out of the United States. Sicily was an eye-opener for me and a most unforgettable experience. At that time, Sicily was about 50 years behind the rest of the world. This video has been very nostalgic for me!! And I particularly love the sound recording of this video! A couple of times I caught myself turning my head to follow the authentic sounds!!

[@ProWalks]

Wow, 19 and overseas for the first in Sicily. That must have been a real culture shock. I didn't even realize how close Sig is to Catania. I just looked it up for the first time now. I should have stayed there during my trip. :) Did you get a chance to travel all over Sicily? This was my first trip down there but I'm hoping to go back again with my family. I'm glad you liked the video. I'll be posting up a Palermo walk here pretty soon.

Yeah, we have a Ford Explorer here that gets around alright but we have a smaller car too and there have been times I've been glad we weren't in the Explorer. I think the kids all come out in the evening. Everyone does for that matter. I ran into some groups of boys playing soccer..I mean football..in some back alleys when I was riding my bike around, but you're right, there weren't too many out. Thanks for watching!

[@maggiemcmac8273]

Wonderful walk as always. I am sorry to see so much graffiti, (not that we don't have it in the US), but it's a pity the old buildings aren't more respected. What is the government take on graffiti (or tagging). Are there efforts to remove it or educate against it? Thanks as always!!!!

[@ProWalks]

Hi Maggie, well I don't know the official government take on it...but things down here are pretty corrupt so taking care of graffiti is probably not high on any government official's list. There is no money in it. I know in Naples, there are a lot of small gangs of young kids, 12 years old or so, that cause a lot of the problems.

[@maggiemcmac8273]

​@@ProWalks For a country that heavily depends on tourism, it can cause problems. Several friends visited Venice in 2019 during a trip to Italy. Their major take away was the unbelievable graffiti over everything. Not a good tourist memory and it has impacted my desire to visit Venice when/if tourism resumes.

[@bunktwr]

I'm from Catania and, no, there's not any particular graffiti removal policy. It's the same as well in all our country. Rome and Milan are way more covered by graffiti BTW. I'dont actually remember how much graffiti you can find in Venice. The fact it's that even if you see historical buildings they're owned by private citizens so they don't feel the need to buff illigal graffiti by they own. I agree that illigal graffiti over historical buildings are really bad. But I don't condemn graffiti in general. They are, despite we like it or not, part of our era.

[@michaelschneider497]

This is my city and I agree with you, it's a huge pity that there is not the police all around beating the bastards that ruin my city. But Catania is a place where there are not laws. Imagine a place where anarchy won and this is Catania. Who respect laws is seen like a dumb idiot and this is why I run away from my land. Hope one day someone will do something to train the people to be human beings and not animals but until now nobody did it and I'm forced to leave and find some respect somewhere else.

[@krautgazer]

The illegal graffiti is unfortunate but it doesn't impact me from wanting to visit the cities at all. That's a very weird take, to be honest. There's so much to see and experience: history, culture, architecture, art, food, people, geography, nature, religion... Wall tagging is definitely NOT what's going to make me be away from all of that cultural richness. It's pretty insignificant in comparison.
