Catania is an historically important town (it was a Greek colony, founded probably ~730 BC) with lots of interesting archaeological remnants et al interesting art and architecture. This book describes them and has accompanying photos by a variety of photographers, some famous.

Definitely a book that needs to be read before going to Catania.
It's not a Lonely Planet guide ,but a chance to immerge yourself in another time.
