Villa Pacini, Urban park near Porta Uzeda in Catania, Italy.
Villa Pacini extends in a triangular shape between Cardinale Dusmet Street and Borsellino Square, featuring a central fountain and marble monuments.
The park, established during the Risorgimento period, underwent modifications in 1866 when the Messina-Siracusa railway line construction impacted its surroundings.
The municipality renamed the park in 1978 to honor Giovanni Pacini, with a marble bust by Giovanni Dupré commemorating the celebrated opera composer.
The garden maintains playgrounds for families and provides seating areas where visitors can observe the Amenano River before it flows into the sea.
Two headless statues of Bourbon kings of Naples stand in the park, marking the location where laundresses once washed clothes in the river.
