LA PESCHERIA, CATANIA
Catania's morning market is alive with noisy banter and swordfish heads casting sidelong glances across silvery heaps of sardines. La Pescheria is the historic Catania fish market, renowned for its colors and its picturesque atmosphere that brings this place back to the levels of the Arab souks and that in Sicily has only one direct "competitor": the "Vucciria" market in Palermo. The shoals of fish are located in front of the historic "Archi della Marina" in a tunnel excavated in the 16th century under the Palazzo del Seminario dei Chierici. The market is renowned for its "vuciata" or the cry of the sellers who grab the attention of customers and the always fresh fish and numerous varieties present on the counters.

MERCATO VUCCIRIA, PALERMO
