Catania street-art is everywhere in the city of Catania, full of artistic and cultural itineraries to be discovered.
To discover street art in Catania, the best thing to do would be to get lost in long walks and take eyes wide open and a smartphone to capture the beauty that many artists of national and international fame have wanted to leave as a tribute to our city.
One of the most “hot” places is the San Berillo District: a former red light district and now a redeveloped space that, every day, is enriched with art and new street inspirations that are osmoticised with places rich in memory, races, social issues, thanks to the private initiative of those who, like Trame di Quartiere, offers urban regeneration starting from art, culture, creativity.
A good starting point, then, is the neighborhood, before moving to the former ex deposito AMT – where it is slowly developing an open-air museum of street art – before continuing towards the center and Squibb, a beloved area especially from the catanese hip hop scene.
A brief visit in the heart of the Civita district and its Teatro Coppola (with an admiring look at the door painted by Julieta XLF). Once arrived at the Archi della Marina, then, the obligatory stop will be the silos of Catania.
And – despite a journey through the street art Catania would provide at least another ten additional stages around the city – certainly, it is worthwhile to extend the path at least up to the popular district of Librino, where the promoters of the propagation of street art they were multiple. Just think of the association “I Briganti di librino” and Res Publica Temporanea as works of reconnection between district, art and city and the well-known “Porta della Bellezza”, project of the Fiumara D’Arte Foundation of Antonio Presti.
