The city of Sant'Agata
Overview
In the first days of February 251, during the last phase of the persecution of Decius against non-pagans, the story of the martyrdom of a young Christian girl arrested, tortured and killed for not wanting to sacrifice to the gods of the Empire took place in Catania .
A careful investigation into the martyrdom of Sant'Agata between the remains of ancient Roman Catania and the vestiges of the places where the events took place.
A journey between faith and reason, between history and legend, tradition and folklore that give life every year to what is considered one of the most important religious holidays in the world.
