in 205 BCE, the younger brother of Hannibal, Mago, the Carthaginian commander of the fleet, went on genova, federated to the Romans, and destroyed. The Genoese fled because they knew they could not defend the city. Africans took the spoils in Savona, leaving behind only piles of rubble.
when the inhabitants of the Ligurian city they returned, they were filled with a sadness that today we use the expression 'have Mago' to indicate the feeling of sadness and lump in my throat that sometimes assails us.
