The map
Gravina di Catania lies just north of Catania in eastern Sicily, on the lower slopes of Mount Etna. It is part of a chain of towns that has grown together on the rising ground above the city, and from above, the built-up area appears nearly continuous. Streets climb the slope in a series of short, winding segments, with dense blocks between them.
Etna defines this landscape. Lava flows over the centuries have shaped the terrain, and much of the local building stone is dark volcanic basalt. The town grew rapidly in the twentieth century as Catania expanded, turning an older agricultural village into a residential suburb with a busy road network.
A Gravina di Catania map poster shows this transition from city to volcano. The southern edge merges into Catania's streets, while to the north, roads continue upward towards other Etna towns. The result is a tight, intricate map with few open spaces, where the pattern of streets tells the story of steady growth up the mountain.
Roads climb north from Catania in winding stretches, following the terrain of Etna's lower flank and giving the map a sense of gradual ascent.
Gravina merges with Catania and neighbouring towns, so its map is a dense, almost unbroken pattern of blocks and streets with no clear edge.
The ground here is formed by Etna's lava, and the town's growth has followed the slope of the volcano, which shapes the overall direction of the street plan.

Why Gravina di Catania
Gravina is home for many families who work in Catania and live on the cooler slopes above it. A detailed map of these streets is a personal reminder of daily routes, family homes and the constant presence of Etna.
