Salerno is a town and a province capital in Campania, south-western Italy, located on the gulf of the same name on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Salerno's history dates from its establishment as a Roman town in about 194 BC after the wars with Hannibal the Great. It is situated on a natural harbor which has facilitated trade from ancient times to the present, and which was used by the allied forces as a landing place during the Italian campaign in World War II. Behind the city is a high rock surmounted by an ancient castle, the Castle of Arechi, which commands a view overlooking the city and the Bay. Like other cities and towns in southern Italy, Salerno has been washed over by succeeding dynasties and empires, all of which have had an influence on the evolution of the city, physically and culturally. After the Romans, the Samnites, followed by the Saracens and Lombards, and of course the Byzantines and Normans.
Catania port is situated on the south side of the city of Catania which is on the eastern coast of the island of Sicily, Italy. Several ferry services run between Catania ferry port and mainland Italy and there is also a service connecting Sicily to Malta. Catania is Sicily’s second largest city, with a population of around 300,000. The city is right under the most major currently active volcano in Europe - 'Mount Etna' or 'A Muntagna' as the locals refer to it and has been destroyed many times in its history. As a result you'll notice a great variety of landscape and architecture.
