One place, so many stories.
For the people of Catania, it is simply “la Villa”. Originally a private garden, the grounds were purchased by the city in 1854. With its paths, fountains and small hills, it is one of Catania’s best-loved places, named after composer Vincenzo Bellini.
Getting there
The entrance on Via Etnea is within walking distance of the historic centre. If arriving by car, use a city-centre car park and continue on foot. Always check the organiser’s instructions for the correct concert entrance.
