My name is Danny Cicchino. I was born in Castelpetroso, a small village in Molise, southern Italy — and I grew up in New Jersey. All my life, I’ve carried this place in my heart.
In this first episode, I tell you who I am, why I’m making this podcast, and what happened on a rocky mountainside in 1888 that changed everything — when two peasant women named Fabiana Cecchino and Serafina Valentino saw something no one was prepared to believe.
This is the story of the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows — the Little Lourdes of Italy.
