Bellini Park, Catania, Italy

As you enter Bellini park from Via Etnea you are met with a large, wide, staircase. I have included several views of the fountain from various areas around the park. There was more to it, including a long row of busts, but naturally my battery was not fully charged...sorry.

The day was mostly cloudy, but the temperature was still moderate. I wore a sleeveless mock turtleneck sweater under my leather jacket and was warm just walking from my car to the Piazza Duomo (which is not shown in this posting). It was less than a two minute walk. It is difficult to believe that it is mid January and the temperature is still so warm. I am concerned though, because we really have not had much rain yet this season. We really could use it, as the summers are long, hot, and very dry.















The grounds keepers change the date every day. There is another park in Acireale that has a similar date display.
