Costa verde

Photo catch of the port of Campoloro, the moon will lie down with the top of Cervioni. It is of this place that the followers of the parapente of Cime'Ale find themselves to practise the flight under the protection of the Madonna of the "Scupiccia" with 780 meters of altitude. Built in 1649, the purpose of this small vault was to shelter a splendid statue of the white marble virgin. The work in all points remarkable was intended for the cathedral of Cordoue. The chance in wanted differently. The boat which conveyed the statue having been run by the barbaresque ones with broad of Prunete, the inhabitants of Cervioni adopted with rapture the Madonna of Scupiccia (the virgin of the Heathers). She is celebrated every 15 August by a procession which starts from Cervioni by a escarpé way. A legend wants that the statue went up only the way of the beach to the mountain.
