THE LEGEND

It is said in Valbrenta that in 1638, Loretta and Nicholas, inhabitants of Sasso of Asiago and engaged in odor of marriage, are struck by misfortune: Loretta, expecting a child, becomes seriously ill and her lover, determined to save her, part decided at a time to Padua in search of a miraculous ointment.
He goes down the Sasso Calà and arrives in Valstagna and rents a horse.
Despite his career, the clock ticked and Nicolò did not return.
The inhabitants of Sasso, worried, then decide to go down with torches to meet the young man. Along the Calà, other torches rise: Nicolò is escorted by Valstagna's men.
The young lover manages to reach his beloved Loretta and give her the ointment, which miraculously heals her. The two boyfriends then marry, with the participation of the inhabitants of Sasso and Valstagna.
