The Legend of Sferracavallu
The Legend of Sferracavallu tells of a fabulous grass made of gold that grows in Nicolosi, along the flanks of volcano Etna.
It is said that above the village of Nicolosi grows the legendary grass of Sferracavallu. he found his hands full of golden grass. The monk, taken by amazement, however, forgot to mark the precise point of the discovery. Back in his country, he told of the prodigious find to his compatriots who rushed to the slopes of Etna to hunt for the golden grass. None of them managed to find it because the Sferracavallu also has the property of being invisible and can only be seen by the thrushes with which they build their nests, which in turn become invisible.
Only fate can decide who can collect the nest. all golden grass.
