    @debussyman it's incredible how my nightlights doesn't works. More than one year after our last conversation I'm still not able to turn on the lights. I tried modifying the falloff, playing with all the options, but nothing happens. I think I definitely stopped trying. Maybe I have a strange version of BAT, or I need some patches for the night lights, I don't know. However thank you again for your help!

    4x8 lot Catania Centrale is the main railway station of the Italian city of Catania, in Sicily. Along with Palermo Centrale, Messina Centrale and Syracuse it is one of the most important stations of its region. It is managed by the Ferrovie dello Stato, the national rail company of Italy. The station was inaugurated on 24 June 1866. One century later it was upgraded and renewed due to the electrification of the Messina-Catania line. Catania Centrale is located close to the Port of Catania and by the sea. It has a railway depot and a link to the port. The station building has two floors and a portico and is protected by the national cultural heritage. The station is electrified and served by regional trains, by a metro line and by the Circumetnea railway. For long-distance transport there are InterCity and Express trains to Rome, Turin, Milan and Venice, linking it also with Genoa, Naples, Bologna, Florence, Pisa and other cities.

    3x3 Lot. The Palazzo dell'Università or Palazzo Centrale dell'Università di Catania is a monumental palace located in Piazza Universitaria, in the center of the city of Catania, region of Sicily, southern Italy. Since its construction, it has housed the main offices of the University of Catania, and stands across the piazza from the Palazzo San Giuliano, also housing offices of the university. It presently houses the offices of the rector, university offices, the Biblioteca regionale “Giambattista Caruso”, and a small museum of geology and archeology. The University of Catania is among the 15 oldest universities in Italy; it predates the other large universities in Sicily, Palermo and Messina, by more than three centuries. The impetus for the foundation of the university at Catania came from Alfonso V, King of Aragon, Sardinia, and Sicily who granted the foundation of an institution of Studium Generale with the power to grant titles of baccalaurate and doctorate. The first laureate graduated in 1445. The initial university home was a building alongside a seminary and adjacent to where the present Catania Cathedral. That site was razed to create the spaces around the cathedral, and the university moved to different locales until finding a home in 1684 the building of the ospedale San Marco, located at this site. However, like most of the city, the structure was razed by the 1693 earthquake. Construction of a new palace began within a few years, the present design is the product of some of the main architects of baroque Catania, Francesco Battaglia, and his son Antonino Battaglia, and by Giovanni Battista Vaccarini. The structure was completed by 1760. Further restructuring was pursued by Antoni Battisi after the earthquake of 1818, and in 1879 by engineer Mario Di Stefano with work on the portal. The piazza in front, once called piazza della fiera del lunedì, ultimately acquired its present name of piazza dell’Università. Behind the prominently arcaded facade, in the piano nobile, is a large hall (aula magna) frescoed by Giovanni Battista Piparo. The center of the palace has a large courtyard, decorated with an elaborate pavement design using black and white stone. The architect Vaccarini had used similar projects in the Collegio, now Convitto Cutelli, and the Collegio dei Gesuiti (adjacent to St Francis Borgia church).

    The ancient theatre (the teatro greco, or "Greek theatre") is built for the most part of brick, and is therefore probably of Roman date, though the plan and arrangement are in accordance with those of Greek, rather than Roman, theatres; whence it is supposed that the present structure was rebuilt upon the foundations of an older theatre of the Greek period. With a diameter of 120 metres (390 ft) (after an expansion in the 2nd century), this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily (after that of Syracuse); it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts. The greater part of the original seats have disappeared, but the wall which surrounded the whole cavea is preserved, and the proscenium with the back wall of the scena and its appendages, of which only traces remain in most ancient theatres, are here preserved in singular integrity, and contribute much to the picturesque effect, as well as to the interest, of the ruin. From the fragments of architectural decorations still extant we learn that it was of the Corinthian order, and richly ornamented. Some portions of a temple are also visible, converted into the church of San Pancrazio, but the edifice is of small size. Il teatro di Taormina avrebbe un'origine ellenistica - sulla base dei pochi documenti archeologici potrebbe essere del III secolo a.C. - ma si presenta totalmente romano nel suo aspetto oggi visibile. La struttura originaria era legata ad un piccolo santuario di cui resta il basamento sul belvedere che sovrasta la cavea. Una prima ricostruzione dell'edificio si ebbe in età repubblicana o primo Impero, forse sotto Augusto, ma ad un ampliamento nella prima metà del II secolo d.C. risalgono le forme oggi note. L'edificio raggiunse i 109 metri di diametro massimo, con un'orchestra dal diametro di 35 metri, per una capienza di circa 10.000 spettatori. In pieno e nel tardo Impero l'edificio venne adattato ad ospitare le venationes (spettacoli di lotta tra gladiatori e bestie feroci): l'orchestra venne mutata in arena sostituendo le gradinate inferiori con un corridoio a volta che connetteva ad un ipogeo al centro dello spiazzo, dove le macchine sceniche permettevano gli "effetti speciali" del combattimento. Infine, in epoca tardo antica, venne realizzato il portico alle spalle della scena. Il suo abbandono probabilmente è da ascriversi con l'assedio dei Vandali e con il conseguente decadimento dell'Impero.

    Lot 4x3 The Temple of Concordia (Italian: Tempio della Concordia) is an ancient Greek temple in the Valle dei Templi (Valley of the Temples) in Agrigento (Greek: Akragas) on the south coast of Sicily, Italy. It is the largest and best-preserved Doric temple in Sicily and one of the best-preserved Greek temples in general, especially of the Doric order. The temple was built c. 440–430 BC. The well-preserved peristasis of six by thirteen columns stands on a crepidoma of four steps (measuring 39.42 m × 16.92 m (129.3 ft × 55.5 ft), and 8.93 m (29.3 ft) high) The cella measures 28.36 m × 9.4 m (93.0 ft × 30.8 ft). The columns are 6 m (20 ft) high and carved with twenty flutes and harmonious entasis (tapering at the tops of the columns and swelling around the middles). It is constructed, like the nearby Temple of Juno, on a solid base designed to overcome the unevenness of the rocky terrain. It has been conventionally named after Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony, for the Roman-era Latin inscription found nearby, which is unconnected with it. If still in use by the 4th-and 5th century, it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire. The temple was converted into a Christian basilica in the 6th century dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul by San Gregorio delle Rape, bishop of Agrigento and thus survived the destruction of pagan places of worship. The spaces between the columns were filled with walling, altering its Classical Greek form. The division between the cella, the main room where the cult statue would have stood in antiquity, and the opisthodomos, an adjoining room, was destroyed, and the walls of the cella were cut into a series of arches along the nave. The Christian refurbishments were removed during the restoration of 1785.[1] According to another source, the Prince of Torremuzza transferred the altar elsewhere and began restoration of the classic building in 1788. According to authors of a 2007 article, it is "apart from the Parthenon, the best preserved Doric temple in the world."

    4x4 Lot The Piazza del Duomo is the main square of the city of Catania. It takes its name from the Duomo di Catania or Cathedral of Saint Agatha which stands on the east side of the square. It was originally constructed in 1078-1093, on the ruins of the ancient Roman Achillean Baths. Access to the baths is by a short staircase left of the Cathedral. After an earthquake in 1693, Giovanni Battista Vaccarini designed a new Baroque façade in 1711. Three streets enter the square: the via Etnea, the historical city axis; the via Giuseppe Garibaldi, and the via Vittorio Emanuele II that crosses it from east to west. On the eastern side of the square stands the Duomo, dedicated to Saint Agatha, patron saint of the city, whose feast is celebrated on 5 February. On the north side is the palazzo degli Elefanti or the Town Hall. In front of this building stands a fountain designed by Vaccarini, consisting of an obelisk on the back of the elephant u Liotru, the (symbol of Catania). On the other side of the square, there is the Amenano fountain, in front of the Palazzo dei Chierici. Between the Palazzo dei Chierici and the Cathedral is the Porta Uzeda. From the terraces you can admire two splendid panoramas: on one side, the spectacle of Piazza del Duomo in Catania with the Elephant fountain and Via Etnea with Mount Etna in the background; on the other, the walls of Charles V, the port of Catania with the arches of the Marina up to the Ursino castle. The door of Charles V is part of the only remaining part of the city walls. Access to the baths by accessing the Diocesan Museum of Catania: a barrel-vaulted corridor built into the gap between the Roman structures and the foundations of the cathedral (whose access consists of a short flight of steps at different times to the left of the façade) allows to take a trip into the bowels of the city, where the Amenano river flows, whose waters rise to the surface in the nearby Amenano fountain in the square in front. The name of the plant is deduced from an inscription on a marble slab of the Lunense area reduced to six very fragmented main fragments, probably dating back to the first half of the 5th century, now exhibited in the Civic Museum at Castello Ursino.

    Lot 11x8 The Amphitheatre of Catania is an ancient structure in Catania, Sicily, southern Italy, built in the Roman Imperial period, probably in the 2nd century AD, on the northern edge of the ancient city at the base of the Montevergine hill. Only a small section of the structure is now visible, below ground level, to the north of Piazza Stesicoro. This area is now the historic centre of the city, but was then on the outskirts of the ancient town and also occupied by the necropoleis of Catania. The structure is part of the Parco archeologico greco-romano di Catania. L'anfiteatro romano di Catania, di cui è visibile solo una piccola sezione nella parte occidentale della piazza Stesicoro, è una imponente struttura costruita in epoca imperiale romana, probabilmente nel II secolo, ai margini settentrionali della città antica, a ridosso della collina Montevergine che ospitava il nucleo principale dell'abitato. La zona dove sorge, ora parte del centro storico della città, in passato era adibita a necropoli. Esso fa parte del Parco archeologico greco-romano di Catania.

    Non credo che sia necessario semplificare l'architettura dell'edificio, BAT regge molto di più di quel che si pensa
  21. You need to have an high level of education, so high. Then you need a good place, I mean it's better create it in a clean area, far from dirty industries and maybe some nice squares, fountains, flowers, something like these. I think also could be useful an efficient transportations system.

    Lot 4x4 The Castello normanno ("Norman Castle") is a castle in Paternò, in the Province of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. The castle was built in 1072 by Count Roger I of Sicily to protect the Simeto valley from Islamic raids. The first nucleus of the fortress was soon enlarged, and it subsequently lost its original military functions. Under Henry VI it was made the seat of the Count of Paternò, assigned to his fellow Swabian Bartholomew of Luci. Later the castle housed kings and queens, such as Henry's son Emperor Frederick II, Eleanor of Anjou and Blanche I of Navarre, as the castle had been included in the so-called Camera Reginale estates ("Queen's Chamber") by King Frederick III of Sicily. The Chamber was abolished in the 15th century, and in 1431 the castle was acquired by the Special family; until 1456 it was owned by the Moncada family. Used as a jail, in the following centuries it became increasingly decayed, until restoration work begun in the 19th century brought it back to its ancient prominence. The castle has a rectangular plan, on three floors, with a height of 34 m. Originally, it had Ghibelline-style merlons, of which today only remains can be seen. Notable is the colour effect created by the dark shade of the stones and the frames of the Gothic-style mullioned windows, in white limestone. The first-storey houses several service chambers and the Chapel of St. John, decorated with precious 13th-century frescoes. The piano nobile houses a large Weapons Hall. The king's residence was located in the upper floor.
