The Arco delle Ombre, in the heart of the village of Camamassima, in Puglia, according to an ancient legend was populated by ghosts, which continually passed below. In reality, the fanciful version derives from the fact that when there was no public lighting, citizens were forced to go around in the evening with oil lanterns. Therefore, observing the arch from a certain distance, and seeing the shadows of the silhouettes of passersby reflected on the walls, one had the impression of seeing ghosts.
