Messina, Sicily. IT

Messina is the third largest city on the island of Sicily, Italy and the capital of the province of Messina.

Messina is a modern city with few intact monuments due to an earthquake in 1908 and Allie bombings in 1943. It is gateway to nearby Taormina, Mt Etna and ancient Naxos.
