Coexistence between neighbors and pets is often a source of doubt and tension. A question we frequently receive is: "Can my neighbor legally prevent me from keeping a barking dog?"

If Catania were a book, the district combining the elegance of Corso delle Province with the authentic soul of Picanello would be its most dynamic chapter. For those active in the Sicilian real estate market, this area is an open-air laboratory: a unique mix of high-end residential living, commercial bustle, and redevelopment potential. In this new post on the Domus Sicilia blog, we analyze why buying or selling in this area today is a strategic move.
