    Inside the restaurant, the well where the legend concerning the outbreak of the Sicilian Vespers was born:
    "It was March 30, 1282 and in the hot Catania, occupied by the hated French of Charles of Anjou, a girl, Gammazita, was with her boyfriend, when a French soldier, certain Drouet, with the excuse of looking for weapons hidden in his clothes The girl, feeling outraged, fled and, in order not to lose her honor, threw herself into a well, which still today, dried up, exists in Catania. This was the spark that started the Sicilian Vespers. "

    Above all, stop by the ostello degli elefanti youth hostel. Located in a former 18th century palace in the city center, this inn is a real delight. And the team is nice to sucroit.
