Vulcano: the mouth of hell
Ji-Elle - CC3.0
In the Middle Ages various legends rised on Aeolian Islands: one of these sees Vulcan the place where souls of damned burn.
The legend, which has come to us through St. Gregory the Great, is known, which tells of a hermit who would have seen, on the day of Theodoric's death, the soul of the king thrown into the crater by Pope John and the patrician Symmachus that he had made kill.
Other legends revolve around the figure of the Holy Bishop Agatone and the hermit San Calogero who freed the island from devils and made pure waters gush out.
