Tips
A long time ago the devil wanted to tempt the hermit Pellegrino into sin, but he had miscalculated his satanic calculations. Pellegrino, irritated, gave him such a slap that the devil spun around three times. With this diabolical pirouette began the tradition of walking three laps around the pile of stones called "Devil's Stones", which are nothing more than burdens carried by pilgrims, each stone large in proportion to the sin it had to atone for, from children's pebbles to boulders of who knows what unspeakable misdeeds.

Tradition has it that you have to complete the ring and then throw a stone into the pile
