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.

The Pizzomunno rocky outcrop, which rises about 25 meters above the Castello beach, has the shape of an ellipse (20 x 12 meters) and is located at a distance of at least about 25 meters from the rocky wall of the San Francesco promontory, from which it cannot be overcome due to erosion phenomena. Marina, with the procedure of applying the original Tettonia fracture.

Subsequently, the lighthouse is raised and proceeds with the lowering of a further modeling according to the chemical measures of the sea spray.

The Pizzomunno and the lower part of the rocky wall are made up of white limestone of the “scaglia” type, dating to the Late Cretaceous period (145.5 years and 0.3 million years ago). It is a soil formation with slightly diametrically opposed white limestones, gradually stratified with a selection of red spots. The layers of the stone slab, with a thickness of 5 to 10 cm, have a northeast-southeast direction and an inclination of 13° to the northeast.
