Where can I find information on cities

Strange question.Map?Internet?

I met somebody once who knew about cities beginning with the letter B near Mt Etna. Would that be at least a start?

Thank you. I am not sure that would help since IF the informstion is in alphabetical order, I would think cities starting with A, might not be listed. However if the info you are finding the B's in is listing ALL cities and starts with A, I could try to use that. Thank you again for your respnse.

Is Asole near Etna? Let me consult my italian atlas..

I guess you think you are being funny? Not worth hearing from you.

I would look at a map

This person I once met - well really it was a friend of his - said that finding out about cities beginning with vowels in Italy was much more difficult than those beginning with consonants. So maybe that's the problem with the letter 'A". 'B" and 'G" are much easier. It could be that's it's because it's very mountainous around Mt Etna.Apparently, it's the other way round in Spain. Sorry can't be of more assistance.

Thanks again for your info and time. Actually, I live in Houston, Texas. At one time we had all my parents papers since he left Naples and his boat arrived in Ellis Island, Booklyn, New York, on March 31, 1906. Unfortunately, my Mom and Dad's home burned down, and we lost many precious things, some included my Dad's papers, and some were saved because they kept many of the documents in a fire proof "foot locker". That box has been lost or in the hands of my brother. We managed to get some copies of his time in the US Army.but my brother knows he had them, but doesn't know where.he has put them. I decided to try and research this myself his life by myself. I have used the internet and looked at maps of Sicily, to no success.Thanks again for you assistance. I appreciate your kindness and responce.God Bless

What is the problem? Look at Sicily on Google Maps and find Etna- Then look at the towns around it, and see which ones begin with A.

The problem, Sir (if you are a male) I have looked at maps (some better then Google). If I was successful in finding what I am looking for, I certainly wouldn't need information from you. Why don't you look it up on a google map after you find Sicily and Etna. See if you can find a city starting with "A"? If you find it, you are smarter then most, and I will give you a thumbs up.Meanwhile, please do not respond to any of my postingsHave a good day.

I got some very detailed maps here http://www.igmi.org/vendite/e-shop.php

A city beginning with any letter will be on a map. A town also. A hamlet maybe not. You asked for a city. The only town of any size near Etna is Acireale. Aidone is further away. Or there is Adrano, Acitrezza, Acicastello, Aidone - all small towns.

Cities in Italy are very small compared to US. Maybe you are discounting something as even very small villages are on Google maps. Good luck :)

Here is a list of Sicilian towns & provinces starting with the letter A. You're going to have to narrow it down to those near Etna, but it's a starting point. . .https://www.gentracer.com/townsa.htmlBuona Fortuna!
