Worth a visit. Small and surrounded by olive trees.

Beautiful

On the Passo del Mercante, my father told me, that my grandfather met my grandmother. My grandfather was a young woodcutter who climbed the pass from Cittanova; and my grandmother was a shepherdess from Canalo Vecchio. They met by chance, and immediately argued: it seems that she didn't like the woodcutters, because they were too noisy and scared the cattle... But my grandfather, evidently made the difference, "maybe he was cute and she was very beautiful" and after the argument they made peace and fell in love.... Every time I'm in the area, I always go to the Pass to greet the memory of my grandfather 👴 and my grandmother👵 😊👋👋

Wonderful panorama of the Costa Viola and the Strait of Messina

The view over the Strait of Messina is an explosion of beauty that captures the essence of Italian geography. From this panoramic point, the gaze is lost in the marine horizon, embracing the coasts of Calabria and Sicily. The expansive scenery is dominated by the majestic volcano of Etna, creating a breathtaking view that combines the power of nature with the historical richness of this region. The magic of the Strait of Messina manifests itself in every detail of this overview, offering an unforgettable visual experience.

Spectacular view of the Viola coast and Sicily along the SS18

Mandatory stop at the stall, for a sandwich, a glass of wine, a dessert or a coffee. The owner is very nice.

There are several scattered along this stretch of highway. Probably dating back to World War II. It is possible to access it but I didn't.
