Belpasso

Belpasso sits at an elevation of 551 meters above sea level, positioned 10 kilometers northwest of Catania in the region of Sicily.

Following the destruction by Mount Etna's lava flows in 1669, the town relocated and underwent a transformation from Fenice Moncada to present-day Belpasso in 1695.

The town marks December 13 with celebrations honoring its patron saint Lucy, maintaining traditional Sicilian religious and social customs throughout the year.

Belpasso operates under the postal code 95032 and functions as the second largest administrative division in the Catania area, serving a population of 28,128 residents.

The municipality houses Condorelli, a manufacturer of Sicilian confections that distributes traditional sweets from the Metropolitan City of Catania to international markets.
