White rock near the the hermitage of Santo
Spirito, seen from Bloc-Haus. It is called "la Liscia Sulagnana' in
dialect, "Flat Rock" in English. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Closer view of the white rock as seen across the
ravine at Santo Spirito, with 'hoofprints". (See the story below)
The ravine in front is called "La Fosse de
canalone." |
|
|
|
|
|
There is a legend
regarding this flat white rock: Saint Peter, Saint Bartolomeo and
Saint Giovanni were always being followed by the devil, and as they
attempted to build churches the devil would tear them down. The
devil followed San Giovanni across the white rock but was unable to cross
and fell into the ravine. The legend says that San Giovanni's donkey
left the hoofprints in the rock which are visible today, and that
San Bartolomeo and Saint Peter remained on this side of the ravine and
built the hermitages of San Bartolomeo and Santo Spirito, while San
Giovanni built his hermitage on the other side, near
Decontra. |

departure from Naples to the United States aboard the Greek ship Queen
Mary. They settled in the US, in Delaware. Lucia D'Alfonso
