Messina lies on the north-east coast of Sicily on the Strait of the same name separating the island from the mainland.

The story of its discovery is an unusual one. A blacksmith named Antonio Bambara was digging in his land behind St. Catherine's Church when his pick uncovered a red brick construction. A year later the real excavations began and the Odeon appeared, badly damaged in various sections.
