Motta
d’Affermo is a city of nearly 2,000 in the province of Messina.
It stretches between the Tusa and the Fosso Mulinello valleys at
some 660m a.s.l. The Chiesa Madre, containing a prized painting
of Our Lady of the Assumption, and the Chiesa di San Rocco, with
an altar-piece representing Saint Rock and Saint Andrew, are its
most attractive buildings.
