Folktale week Day 5: DeathToday’s drawing is dedicated to one legend of my home town. During a battle to take Pisa, one of the Pisan leaders escaped with his son, but while escaping the father was killd and the son wounded, but he managed to survive. He arrived at a town called Gorfigliano, where he was helped by a shepherd and his daughter, but he did’t want to reveal his name so he called himself the Pisanino. Despite the care of the shepherd and his daughter the boy died after a few month. They buried him in a field and the shepherd’s daughter went everyday to cry over his grave. Is it said that her every tears would become rocks and on that field a mountain was raised. The so-called Pisanino! -- source link
