an Berillo was an ancient district in the center of Catania that was densely populated and full of artisans' workshops,[citation needed] which, as a result of the northward shift of the city center, lost importance until it became a run-down neighborhood. After the Val di Noto earthquake of 1693, which represented a caesura in the urban history of Catania, the reconstruction of the city began by orienting the main road axis of the town toward Mount Etna and placing in the so-called Quattro Canti the fulcrum of the restructuring. The district of San Berillo took shape starting from Piazza Stesicoro, stretching east of Via Etnea in the direction of the area where the railway station was inaugurated; in its growth, however, no road artery in the direction of the station was realized.In 2019, the San Berillo district presents itself with a new face, thanks to young entrepreneurs who have decided to revalue its image by investing in premises and areas of cultural interest that daily attract the curiosity of tourists and Catanese who enjoy this newfound beauty.

What remains of the old and abandoned San Berillo district is still waiting for a restoration plan to be put into practice. Meanwhile, the place hosts interesting wall paintings. Don't be put off by the way it looks: that's not a dangerous area, not during the day. Nevertheless, avoid getting in the core of it when it's dark.

Qui sarete investiti da una Catania alternativa, è la prova lampante di quanto si creda alla rigenerazione urbana.

Luogo simbolo della riqualificazione del centro storico ... opera ancora lunga da ultimare .. ma questo è un inizio! La sera i suoi ristoranti sono immersi in un atmosfera unica !

Ti suggeriamo di partire da piazza Stesicoro, lì dove ha inizio lo storico quartiere. Vagando tra palazzi appartenenti a epoche diverse, spesso incompiuti o non più ricostruiti dopo lo scoppio della guerra, e vicoli arricchiti dalla street art. Anche se conosciuto più come luogo di case di tolleranze, in realtà oggi associazioni, cittadini e attività mostrano la sua vera bellezza. Come i murales di piazza delle Belle, intitolata a Goliarda Sapienza, oggi popolare luogo di incontro dei giovani catanesi.
