The location is a “historic”, cobbled street in Catania, which sits below Mount Etna.
Contrary to popular misconception, Europe’s biggest volcano has never “devastated” Catania. (although an earthquake once did)
Catania is second to Palermo in population, but Catania is Sicily’s industrial/commercial hub.
If Sicily/Italy ever does go down whatever “revolutionary road” the graffitist had in mind, let us hope that it leads to a less corrupt, less bloodthirsty, more fair and more freedom-favouring future than any avid student of history would have good reason to expect!
