Italy’s Weirdest Legends (Part 1)

Italian Flag bar

Let’s talk about fables, or better yet, legends… Italian legends, that is!

Italy is full of these weird tales. Each Italian region has their own fantastical stories, their own myths, and their own legends in which they talk about mythical creatures and magical characters… Many of these strange and unbelievable stories are the justification for a lot of common customs and superstitions even today, often with no real reason.

Some of these legends are really old… some are so ancient that it isn’t known where they come from! Some have been told since Medieval times and others maybe even earlier!
