Photographer in Catania
Sooty basalt volcanic lava stones and dramatic late baroque architecture at the base of Mount Etna. Catania offers violent contrast balances between black basalt structures and white marmoreal carvings.

When to visit Catania for photos?
Hot Mediterranean weather. Strongly recommend bypassing high summer afternoon heat. Morning documentary sessions inside the noisy fish market ("A Piscaria") represent pure Sicilian life.
