Maria Grazia Casella
Available for hire
"The Cathedral of Saint Agatha is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and a significant religious site in Catania, Sicily.
Built in the 18th century on the site of a previous church destroyed in the earthquake of 1693, the cathedral is dedicated to the city's patron saint. Admire the cathedral's intricate stonework and statues of saints and angels that embellish its striking façade.
Inside, instead you can marvel at the ornate decorations, including frescoes, marble statues, and carvings. The cathedral's most treasured possession is the silver statue of Saint Agatha, which is paraded through the streets during the annual festival held in her honor. "

The webisite is in Italian, and you should look up to "SS. Messe Giorni Festivi" (Giorni Festivi = Sundays and religious holidays) and "SS. Messe Giorni Feriali" (Giorni Feriali = weekdays)"
