A map to rediscover Catania through the eyes of artists and artisans

Art&Handicraft Shop and Studios Catania Map:
a shared initiative to explore the most authentic Catania

Catania offers a wide range of handmade products proudly made in Sicily. There are so many craft shops and  atelier that can be found in the streets of the city, each with its secrets and its beauties; realities that risk being overshadowed by the mass production chains that invade the main streets of big cities.

For this reason, a collective of artistic and commercial realities from Catania have decided to unite and give life to an initiative that highlights their creative work: Art&Handicraft Shop and Studios Catania Map, an alternative map that aims to discover the most authentic soul of Catania, made of stories, places and talents still little known but rich in value; a route out of the box that invites you to discover artists who enrich with creativity, passion and ancient knowledge the heritage of the city.

From historic shops to contemporary studios, from independent cultural spaces to emerging projects, each stage tells a part of the creative identity of the city at the foot of the volcano. A network of people and places that choose to connect in order to enhance the craft and independent work, make communities and be known by those who live in the city and by those who cross it even for a few days.
