Aci Trezza (Sicilian: Jaci Trizza) is a town in Sicily, southern Italy, a frazione of the comune of Aci Castello, c. 10 km north of Catania, with a population of around 5,000 people.
Located on the coast of the Ionian Sea, the village has a long history of maritime activity. Aci Trezza is a popular spot for Italian vacationers in the summer. The patron Saint of the town is St. John the Baptist. The Festa of San Giovanni is celebrated each year during the last week of June 24 in his honor.
Of the coast of Aci Trezza are three tall, column-shaped islands. According to local legend, these great stones are the ones thrown at Odysseus in The Odyssey. The islands are referred to as the "isole dei ciclopi" (islands of the Cyclops, or Cyclopean Isles) by locals. This compliments the notion that the Cyclops once had a smithy below Mount Etna, which looms over the village to the northwest.
Giovanni Verga's novel I Malavoglia ("The House by the Medlar Tree") is set in Aci Trezza.
I have eyes in the back of my head
and I can see where this is going
You've had the upper hand, one too many times
You've had the upper hand, just bring me down
Your silhouette stops me in my tracks, I need to catch my breath
Hello miss deceiver, I got lost in your eyes
This is a dream, I'm a believer Just let me close my eyes
The lights are constantly flickering,
as you reach your cold hand to grip my chest
There's gotta be a better way,
to pull me back towards the ground
