Catania - the city that grief built

from The Mourning Map · host kiranmy

For episode 1, I am going to take you to Catania, Sicily — a city that has been destroyed by volcanoes, earthquakes, plague and war, and rebuilt itself every single time. From the same black lava stone that kept trying to kill it.But before I tell you about the disasters, I need to tell you about a girl named Agatha. Who said no to a powerful man. And paid everything for it.And how an entire city has been crying in the streets for her every February for eighteen hundred years.
