Have you ever heard performers sing the song "Santa Lucia"? I have heard it performed but never knew who the woman or that she was, in fact, a real person. Just read a horrific story about a woman who is now honored as Santa Lucia. Her remains were finally laid to rest in Siracusa (Syracuse). “Venice was home to her for so long that the gondoliers’ song “Santa Lucia”, originally from Naples, has become part of that city’s identity.”
