St. Agatha di Militello
Listen to the story
Agatinno is Agathyrnum, on the north coast of Sicily near Capo d'Orlando or Sant'Agata di Militello, founded, so legend said, by Agathyrnus, a son of Aeolus, lord of the winds; its coins show him as a standing youth. In the war against Hannibal some four thousand exiles and freebooters gathered here, until the consul Laevinus shipped them off to Bruttium in 210 BC.
