LEGEND

 

    The ghost of the Chieftain of the Fortress wanders restless inside the fortress.In 1432 he took a bribe from Giosia da Acquaviva under the promise that the people living there would be spared as his only aim was to regain possess of the family castle. But Giosia did not keep his promise and once inside the fortress he slaughtered the whole garrison and the few people living there. The chieftain himself found death in the extreme attempt to save his family. In winter nights, among the whistles of the wind and mysterious moanings his ghost wanders in search of his family, squeezing against the walls and shaking whoever he meets, as if he wants to bring to his senses someone who has lost his mind, to question him. Still today some old people tell the story of a ghost who in winter nights slapped and pushed against the walls of the ancient buildings those unfortunate he came across with.Then he would reveal him facts and events really occurred. Someone had to resort to many exorcisms to make these events stop.
