Return to Catania

We spent one more day in Catania before flying on to Dublin. We visited the World War II Museum. At first A movie of actual footage of the invasion of Sicily by The allies is shown. A staged village of the 1940s gives you the idea how simple Sicilian life was. You transition very quickly as a siren goes off and you are ushered into a bomb shelter where you hear guns and bombs exploding and the room starts to shake. Leaving the shelter you enter a room with debris all around you. On the next floor more short movies, maps and dioramas. At the end there is room dedicated to an American soldier that took pictures before during and after. This was a spectacular exhibit.
