This looks like the same street but looking from different ends. The Dave & Lori view is looking up a street with a slight hill. The other is looking down a hill. Note the buildings, the balconies, the shrubbery, the little thingy on the roof, etc.
I think puddin found another one (and didn't even know it). :woohoo: :jumpy:

Wow, I think I got a "hat trick" tonight. I may have found the street name and location where Dave & Lori are running. It looks like the intersection of Via Antonino di Sangiuliano and Via Etnea. Dave & Lori are runniing north on Via Etnea towards the Piazza Stesicoro (amphitheatre).
I've attached an older view of the corner, plus a Google Earth view.

OK, I'm confused! Which street is which in the photos you posted. Are Nerds on Via Etnea and crossing Via Antonio di San Giuliano? If they are coming from the fish market after completing the detour, they would not be going after the fast forward. But I think that they may be coming now down Via Etnea after picking up the clue at the Roman Amphitheatre in Piazza Stesicoro. And still may be headed away from the fish market (Mercato della Pescheria) which is located in Via Garibaldi between The Fontana dell'Amenano in the Piazza Alonzo di Benedetto and Porta Garibaldi
If the Nerds are turning LEFT from Via Etnea onto Via Antonio di San Giuliano, they may be headed for the Tourist Information Office which is right around the corner. Or just down Via Antonio di San Giuliano is located Palasso Manganelli whch was used as the setting for some of scenes in Luchino Visconnti's film The Leopard This might be the site of the FF and have something to do with the making of the film.

^^ Please see my reply to slowhatch above, gingerman.
Google Earth shows the street names in Catania. puddin.
puddin:
So Lori & David are running South ?
Boingo:
Wasn't the "Frette" store on the NW corner of "Quattro Conti" (a.k.a. Via Etnea - Via Antonino di Sangiuliano intersection)?
