The Garage Musumeci is an notable building, elaborated in a flamboyant Liberty style, and built to house both an automobile showroom on the ground floor and above the apartments of the owner, Baron Musemeci. It is located in Piazza Bovio, at the intersection of Via Conte di Torino and Via Francesco Crispi, in the city of Catania, region of Sicily, Italy. The building was designed by Francesco Fichera, who also designed the Palazzo delle Poste in Catania. The elaborate design was maligned during the Fascist era by Pietro Maria Bardi and the architects of MIAR (Movement for Italian Rational Architecture). The facade has a chamfered corner with a large rounded corner balcony. The walls contain colorful gilded mosaics and large face masks. The ground floor houses a shop selling car parts and accessories. The Palazzo Musumeci on Viale XX Settembre #76 was a residential palace built in a sober late-Baroque style.

The Palazzo delle Poste is an notable building, called a palace, but built for and still housing postal offices. It stands on the west corner of Via Etnea, #288, where it intersects with the start of the Giardino Bellini. The postal building is a neo-baroque creation of the architect Francesco Fichera. Construction began in 1922 and were complete only in 1930. The three facades, along via Etnea, via Angelo Litrico, and via Sant'Euplio are similar. All contain a rusticated ground level set upon a base of dark lava stone. The ground floor is an row of arches, each with a keystone marked by a grotesque mask. The second floors have convex balconies framed by pilasters surmounted by a tympanum with a broken pediment. Behind the balconies are tall glass doors with delicate frames. The decoration throughout is often playful and imaginative. At the northeast corner, some of the decorations are cornucopias, but others appear to resemble complex starfish. The tympanum at this corner has a shell flanked by fish. The metal grate has a liberty style design. The interior courtyard now obscured by further construction, was nearly devoid of such decoration and has a simplistic brick detail more common in Fascist architecture of the time. However, the lively facade distinctly avoids the severe sobriety of contemporary "rationalist" architecture of postal offices such as the Poste palace of Palermo and the Poste palace of Naples. The architect Fichera also designed the Garage Musumeci in Catania.

The building, like the two other prominent palaces facing this piazza, now houses offices of the University of Catania. The palace design is attributed, like much of Baroque Catania, to Giovanni Battista Vaccarini. It was commissioned by the then Duke Gioeni d'Angiò and completed in 1743.
