Episode 03 : The Massacre of Erba

What have the Romans ever done for us? Well, they built an aqueduct for a start which is still in use 2000 odd years later. The fertile soil and ample water sources of the area in which the town is situated have made the region an agricultural greenbelt. The chief crops are grapes, olives, and vegetables. We are not in Italy but it’s here that our story begins… or rather it is here, in Zaghuan, a city 50 miles south of the capital Tunis that Raffaella and her son Yussuf rest in peace - forever. They are far from home but Raffaella then husband Azouz wanted them close to him and not buried in the north of Italy, in Erba, where they died along with two other innocent people the night of December 11, 2006.
