Murcia del Soldato

Murcia del Soldato is located at the crossroads of the paths coming from Poggio Sorbiglione, Petriolo and Marzana, the itinerary that is often followed in the direction of Monte Favalto.
The legend tells of the story of a young soldier who had been at war for some years fighting with courage, who escaped death several times and had the desire to return home.
Wounded in the shoulder he walked home and when he finally saw the house in the distance, arrived at the crossroads, he stopped to rest.
The following morning some shepherds found him lifeless just where he had thought to rest, a few steps from the much agonized house and they thought of burying him there.
It is tradition that anyone who passes by throws a stone in memory of the poor soldier.
