VENETICO
Venetico
is a town of about 3,200 inhabitants located in the province of
Messina.
It
was a holding of the Spatafora family since the 15th century. In
the city surroundings is a 1400’s castle, comprised of a fortress
and round towers at each of its four corners. The residential floor
of the fortress is in a poorest condition; one of its rooms still
preserve the remains of a 1500’s flooring. Nearby stands the
Chiesa Madre, containing interesting works such as a 1800’s
painting of Saint Nicholas, a 1600’s Our Lady or the Rosary,
and a 1600’s marble figure representing Saint Catherine.
