Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto's position on Sicily's Tyrrhenian coast means plane and pine dominate the local tree pollen count, with grass pollen from surrounding Sicilia land adding to totals into early summer. The mix of built-up streets and nearby open ground creates uneven exposure across the town, and residents on the leafier fringes tend to notice higher counts than those nearer the centre.
