The Vincenzo Bellini Garden in Catania

This article is linked to the field of urban anthropology.

The study moved from the idea that 'Giardino Bellini' is not only a central urban space due to its position and history, but also represents a perfect location for reading social dynamics which are crucial in the city life. A 'Villa' - so is the Giardino Bellini better known by Cataneses - can therefore assume a great anthropological significance, which was studied through a placed and relationship-wise analysis. However, this was open to a diachronic perspective able to understand how civic memories converge in this space-urban hub
