Luca Scopitteri discusses Valsesia legends and Lucedio mysteries

Author Luca Scopitteri presented a lecture on the legends and traditions of the Valsesia region in Italy. Hosted by the Inner Wheel Clubs of Valsesia and Vallemosso, the event explored historical mysteries and folklore that have persisted for centuries near Monte Rosa.

Discussions included local legends such as the disappearance of the town of Felig due to a traveler's curse and various ghost stories. The presentation also highlighted the mysteries surrounding the Principato di Lucedio, a former 12th-century Cistercian monastery.

Lucedio is noted for its folklore involving secret crypts, underground passages, and historical associations with the supernatural. While the site is now a modern agricultural hub and a center for Italian rice production, it maintains its medieval atmosphere and historical significance through its preserved architecture and hydraulic systems.
