Misterbianco is a town rich of history. Its capital is the city of Catania and it is very near at it. In the 1669 there were numerous earthquakes and a strong eruption of mount Etna. On march two main lava branches completely de stroyed Misterbianco. Few things were spared by the fury of the lava: a small house, a small oak grove, the bell tower of the mother church called "Campanarazzu" and the rural church of the " Madonna degli ammalati", where take place a festivity in the second sundays of september, in honor of the Madonna. While they escaped to the fair of the volcano Etna, people stopped at the feet of a big and a robust olive tree in which they hung a heavy bell. They called it " Oliva Mpittata". In the 1891 people decided to rebuilt the new country. People built the first church like the old one. This is S. Nicolò and then they built the new Mother's church.
Why is it called Misterbianco?
The name of Misterbianco derives from the sicilian term "Musteri Jancu", that means " Monastero Bianco", it refers to the white walls of a Benedictine Monastery destroyed by the lava.

WELCOME TO MISTERBIANCO
Campanarazzu is the ancient Mother church of the Ancient Misterbianco destroyed by the lava eruption of the 1669. After more than three centuries from destruction, with determination has returned to light the main church of the old farmhouse, dedicated to our lady of grace. The name "Campanarazzu" refers to a bell that survived the lava flow that surrounded and destroyed the ancient Misterbianco in the 1669. It is today an archeological site excavated beneath a lava eruption formed by very hard basalt. Excavation have allowed to find the well preserved church: the action of lava was fortunately more that of a coverage than of destruction. The entire main nave, the central and side altars, the remains of a fresco , the baptistery, the beautiful side door and the main entrance have been brought to light. The floor, mostly in terracotta, was protected from the fall of the roof to which lava poured.
