    Pizzomunno is an immense monolith, 25 meters high of limestone. The legend of Pizzomunno goes like this: Pizzomunno is a young man who lived in Vieste when it was still a small village. He meets a girl named Cristalda and the two young people fall in love. Once on a boat fishing, Pizzomunno is surrounded by mermaids and they ask him to become their king. In love with Cristalda, Pizzomunno refuses their request. One evening on the beach, the two lovers are walking. The mermaids see them and, enraged with jealousy, attack Cristalda and drag her to the bottom of the sea. Pizzomunno searches for her following the voice. The next day the fishermen find Pizzomunno's body petrified on the white cliff with pain. Pizzomunno has become the symbol of Vieste.
