Lucia Rosa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucia Rosa was a young girl from the 19th century who wanted to marry a poor farmer, and instead was being forced by her father to marry a wealthy man she did not want. In despair, she threw herself into the Tyrrhenian Sea on the northwest side of the island of Ponza, Italy. She is viewed by some women as a martyr for women's rights and symbol for human rights. A beach and tall rock stacks are named after her, for the place that she died.
