Episode 1 — Roots

My name is Danny Cicchino. I was born in Castelpetroso, a small village in Molise, southern Italy — and I grew up in New Jersey. All my life, I’ve carried this place in my heart. In this first episode, I tell you who I am, why I’m making this podcast, and what happened on a rocky mountainside in 1888 that changed everything — when two peasant women named Fabiana Cecchino and Serafina Valentino saw something no one was prepared to believe. This is the story of the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows — the Little Lourdes of Italy. 🔗 Official website:www.santuarioaddolorata.it/en/ 📧 Contact:[email protected] 🎤 A production of theBasilica Minore dell’Addolorata, Castelpetroso (IS), Italy
