New Keeper and Partner in Catania The Catedral,Sicily,Italy
Walking through Catania, after crossing the Porta Uzeda, the ancient access to the city, you find yourself in Piazza Duomo, perfectly realized, closed by buildings of rare beauty, some built in 1700 after the 1693 eruption that destroyed Catania. In the center there is the elephant fountain, symbol and pride of the people of Catania, on one side is the Town Hall, on its side the majestic Cathedral dedicated to Saint Agatha, patron saint of the city.
On the side of the Duomo, you take street Via Vittorio Emanuele, on this way your eyes are continually attracted by the wonders of the palaces and churches in an explosion of Sicilian Baroque.
At of Via Vittorio Emanuele there is store Enoteca Wine & Charme, a shop that seems set like a diamond in the context in which it is located. The sensitivity of the owners has made it an architectural jewel in perfect harmony with the Baroque that surrounds it. Considering it simply “wine shop” is an understatement, whoever enters does not focus on the items for sale, but is struck by the furnishings, the chandelier that is imposed inside, the colors of the ceramics, valuable and beautiful artifacts, made by artisans of the nearby small town Caltagirone, famous all over the world for its handcrafted ceramics. Among the heads of Moro, the sculpture, the vases, also at Wine & Charme there are selected wines from the best wineries, liqueurs from important distilleries and gourmet food products made in Sicily, also representing the beauty of sicilian taste, in this case it should be said, the goodness of taste. For customers also is possible make wine tasting and have cold plates and its organized on the elegantly equipped outdoor spaces.
Tourists are fascinated by all this, because Wine & Charme not only a commercial activity but also is an artistic and cultural attraction. Tourists who get off from cruise ships that dock at the nearby port of Catania, on their way necessarily come across Wine & Charme, pause on the threshold and then not be able enter, the same happens to those arriving by plane and lands at Fontanarossa airport which is about 10 min. by car or arriving at the nearby train station.
