Catania’s most elegant shopping avenue, running from the seafront up towards Etna and lined with luxury brand boutiques — Dolce & Gabbana, Armani and Trussardi among them — plus smart multi-brand stores, chic bars and handsome early-20th-century palazzi. About ten minutes from the historic centre, it’s where well-heeled Catanesi come to shop and be seen; prices are high, but the sales bring the crowds.
