The Italian Republic (Repubblica Italiana) is a country in southern Europe, in the centre of the Mediterranean, has very ancient origins. In the V century BC - III century BC, Italy was a major part of the Roman state. However, the date of the grounds that Italy, which we now know is considered to be June 2, 1946. [1]
Despite such advanced age, the key mystical ideas in the state are not many. Everything here, from Milan to Sicily, has a special flavor, even the legend here is quite specific. With a large number of graves, battle sites and various antiquities legends about ghosts quite a bit, and they date mainly to the new homes. Many of the ancient castles, built even before our era, with a very rich history, according to local residents "are very boring and do not have legends." With a large number of mountains, water areas and forest parks of the legends about the unknown creatures is extremely small.
A large part of the anomalous phenomena, fixed in Italy, and refers to two categories: UFO sightings and temporal anomalies.
Take a closer look.
UFO
The subject of UFOs in Italy somewhat peculiar.
In the vast majority of reports of UFOs described as "appearing in the daytime bright objects that quickly move in different trajectories, surfacing from the clouds, then hiding back, sometimes suddenly disappearing and reappearing in the sky." To photograph or video them rarely and those who could, most of them fit the description.
We managed a few times to capture such objects in the photo, although "live" they look a little different.
Photos of the objects
As a working hypothesis we adopted the "airplane" and "bird". Rather try to find out in the course of the investigation, which will be discussed in a separate article.
One of the famous worldwide cases of UFO sightings in Italy is associated with the emergence of "angel hair" at the stadium in Florence:
It was a clear day on 27 October 1954. At the stadium in Florence gathered many thousands army of fans — was a football match. In his field received guests team Fiorentina. Suddenly appeared in the sky two strange luminous body in the form of a spindle. They were moving at very high speed on a zigzag path at a small distance from each other. Three flew over the town and after nine minutes disappeared from sight.
After that, the ground began to fall white sparkly spider cereal. Fans sitting in the stands, caught them, but they are in the hands melted away, turned into gelatinous lumps, from which emanates a bad smell. [8]
The view of the stadium (Florence)
Another, relatively new case:
1 November 2000 Wednesday, residents of Vercellese and Alessandri (two cities in the province of Piedmont, Northern Italy) heard an unusually loud rumble. This "neborjakina" shook the shingles on the roofs and glass Windows in both cities.
Immediately after the "neotragini" residents saw a "long white light strands hanging down from the sky." This material fell most thickly in Vercellese; however, its incidence has been reported and from farms surrounding the city. [9]
Time travel
Under a journey back in time to understand the movement of a person or another object from the present to the past or the future or Vice versa. This is a relatively rare form of phenomena recorded an average of 2-3 cases per decade. Not infrequently this phenomenon is associated to the direct interactions with unknown creatures such as fairies, or aliens (youremailname) when the displacement occurs due to this interaction. With this phenomenon, usually attributed certain places where this happened more than two times.
As examples of anomalous phenomena of this type that occurred in Italy, we can cite a few cases:
In the Tyrrhenian sea just off the coast of Italy is the island of Ischia. In one day of August 1997, the 25–year-old Kurt Reiner, all dirty and scratched up, limping, walked over to the entrance to thermal Park "Giardini Poseidon". He told the clerk that I snapped at the bike downhill and now not thinking where. Reiner was sent to the hospital, and the next day he called his name and the hotel where he was staying. However, no guest list Rainer discovered. A mysterious incident has been the police. Soon managed to establish: in 1981, in this hotel really stayed a German tourist by the name of Rainer, who then disappeared. [3]
And another, also occurred on the island of (Sicily):
One morning, may 3, 1753, a craftsman Alberto Gordon was walking around the yard of his estate. At the same time in the yard was the wife of Alberto, his friend the Earl of Zanetti and a few others. Suddenly the craftsman, when he reached a certain place in the yard, suddenly disappeared out of the blue directly into the eyes of the astonished audience.
After 22 years, the craftsman re-emerged on the same place where disappeared. The surrounding rushed to ask Alberto where he was, but all the questions the man answered that he did not disappear, so it naturally was placed in a crazy house where the craftsman has spent the last seven years. Seven years later, with him on the disappearance decided to talk to one of the doctors house for the insane, a Mario. The doctor believed the story, Alberto, and decided to return with him to the scene to thoroughly examine it.
When they were in the yard of a craftsman and went to the described location, then again there was horrible. Gordon took one step and disappeared again just like the first time, but now forever. After this incident, Dr. Mario, believing in the machinations of the devil, ordered to erect around this space the wall and called him a "devil's Trap" or "Trap of the devil." Since then, these names and stuck this place. [2]
The island of Sicily in General, characterized by temporal anomalies. For example, there is mention of this case:
Mysterious phenomenon registered on the Italian island of Sicily: for more than a week electronic watch many of the inhabitants of the island in a hurry for 10-20 minutes every day. An unusual phenomenon registered in several cities of Sicily. Some Sicilians tend to blame all the troubles of mount Etna, which for the last few weeks "was very active" and maybe somehow could be a source of magnetic radiation that affects the course of hours. [4]
It should be noted that crashes with a clock and the arrival of the ash cloud from the volcano occurred almost simultaneously, and the suggestions residents may have a grain of truth.
Faith in luck
It is separately possible to allocate such feature of mentality of Italians, indirectly associated with the anomalous subject, as the belief in luck. The inhabitants of Italy, it is simply enormous. In addition to the purchase of lottery tickets that can be purchased in the smallest shop, the Italians together with the tourists, make a wish in many places for this purpose.
As an example, you can highlight a few places that have the greatest popularity among tourists because of ease of search:
- The Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps in Rome
- A wooden statue of the baby in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli
- Statue of a boar in Florence
The Trevi fountain in Rome
The Trevi Fountain (Rome)
It is believed that if in it to throw one coin, you can be sure to return to Rome; second coin will help to get acquainted with the Italian, and the third ensures a quick wedding. [6]
Statue of a boar in Florence
The key symbol of the straw market between the streets of the Port rose and Kalimala is the Florentine boar (boar). The monument to the Boar is the current fountain. It looks like a full-sized boar, which from the mouth a thin stream of water flows. If you put a coin under the tongue of this ferocious beast to drive back and forth to slip it under his hoof in the place where the bars. If the coin will slip into narrow slits, hidden you wish will come true. It is believed that people will be happy if you RUB the snout of a boar, put a coin in his mouth and it falls down through the grate under the statue, so heels for him, and there are a lot of people wanting to make a wish and take pictures.
The statue of a boar (Florence)
Why first you need to RUB the boar's nose and then flip a coin? There is a legend that in the distant XVI century in the town of nowhere ran a wild boar. His roar he was a terror to the whole neighbourhood. Afraid to meet the intruder, the residents tried to get out of the house. Only one little boy quietly walked to a lonely beast and patted him on the face. He calmed down, and soon he was gone from the city. So, essentially, you make a wish, rubbing his nose, and second, when you put a coin. [7]
A wooden statue of the baby in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli in Rome
Bambino Gesu, which is kept in Santa Maria in Aracoeli, has wonderful healing properties. A century of the Bambino several times a day went to the elegant stretcher to the bed of terminally ill people. The rumor attributes to the miraculous baby is a lot of healing terminally ill people. [5]
A wooden statue of the baby in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli in Rome
The latter case is particularly interesting, as the original statue of the Bambino was stolen in 1994, and now in the Basilica is a copy of it, but the flow of wanting to heal it is almost not decreased. Around baby you can see several baskets with desires.
The Spanish steps
The Spanish steps, or Spanish steps is the Baroque staircase in Rome. It consists of 138 steps, which lead to the Spanish square (Piazza di Spagna) is located on the top of the Pincio hill of trinità dei Monti. [10]
The Spanish steps in Rome
It is believed that if you go through all the steps of this ladder (according to one version - on knees), say a prayer, you fulfilled your desires (or the innermost one).
There is a legend that one woman who was considered barren, and every day he went up the stairs, making their desire to have a baby. Some time after she was added to his daily life this ritual, she managed to get pregnant. However, from a medical point of view it all depends on the diagnosis, and mysticism there can be few, and the cause of all – a rush of blood to the pelvic organs.
Conclusion
Italy is a country with ancient history, but because of the mentality of its residents do not keep the memory of the mysterious events of the past, in contrast to those of the French. If you attempt to get details about past cases or hear new stories, we often heard the same phrase in different interpretations: "Oh! In terms of mysticism we have a very boring".
In spite of such attitude to their mystical heritage, occasionally you can hear the stories of the Italians of the usual us unexplained facts. They will be published within articles on anomalous places in Rome, Florence and Venice.
