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.

This is fascinating tour - and Matilde is a lovely guide who brought the topic to life with a wealth of cultural and artistic knowledge. If you want to explore the real heart and soul of Catania, this is the way to do it! We got access to special rooms, passageways, underground mummification chambers etc. not normally granted to tourists. I'm so glad I took this tour and had the pleasure to meet Matilde!
