The work intricately details the city of Catania, emphasizing its rich history, notable landmarks, and the impact of natural disasters, specifically earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from Mount Etna. The narrative is not just about the city's architecture and historical events but also reflects on the resilience of its people. The opening of "Catania" sets a reflective tone as the author contemplates the immense history and beauty of the city, which has been ravaged multiple times by disasters. Through a vivid and poetic prose style, De Roberto introduces the reader to Catania's geographical setting at the base of Mount Etna and alludes to its past glory contrasted with its current state post-catastrophes. He mentions ancient sources and incidents, such as earthquakes and eruptions, that have shaped Catania over centuries. The text captures the juxtaposition between the city's enduring spirit and the destructive forces of nature, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of its identity.
