Church of S. Nicola di Morano or delle Donne, Catanzaro
The oldest document on this medieval church shows us the sale of a house in terracotta in the thirteenth-century Catanzaro and another house in the peripheral and restricted parish of S. Nicola Ustunci or de Rustunci, which some historians have given the oldest name of the church to S. Nicola identify di Morano. The title "of women" is not to be attributed to "the frequency with which he gave them the name", but to the cult reserved for the holy bishop of Mira, who as a husband was always the patron saint of girls, since he, after having Having learned that a neighbor, falling into poverty and unable to afford a decent dowry for the three daughters, was planning to assign them to prostitution, he then thought of intervening by sneaking out of a window and for three Nights in a row into the house threw three golden vaults, which allowed to form the dowry for the three virgins, whose fate he saved.
