Seaside village inside Catania

From 9th to 11th May, feast of the Patron Saints Alfio, Filadelfo and Cirino. Among the crucial moments of the festival we remember the exit of the Nuri (naked): At 1:00 on May 10th the Nuri riding the Giro Santo. They are bare-chested, barefoot men, wearing only a pair of short white trousers and a red ribbon, holding one hand behind their back and a candle or a bouquet of flowers in the other. They run through the streets of Lentini remembering the tour that the Holy Martyrs made, amidst atrocious suffering, around the ancient city walls. The women also arrive behind them, barefoot.

Feast of the patron saint San Rocco on August 16th. The celebrations also include the procession of the simulacrum through the streets of the city

Wonderfully authentic, colorful hustle and bustle!

Not just for fish lovers. Authentic market activity.

Lake Lentini, or biviere di Lentini, is located in the province of Syracuse, in Sicily. According to legend, it was created by the hero Hercules, while some believe it was the work of the Templars in the 12th century. Dried up in the 20th century, it was later rebuilt in the 1970s. Today it is an oasis for migratory birds and nesting species.

Lentini ('Lintini' in Sicilian) is a baroque city located in the Catania Plain, on the slopes of the Iblei Mountains. Founded by the Sicani, it was in the past a Greek and Roman colony, conserving notable archaeological remains.

Characteristic is the production of Lentini bread, a mixture of water and durum wheat flour. The city is also notable for its rich archaeological and architectural sites.
