    The step of the Zita or "the step of the fiancée" tells a sad story from the Middle Ages of the death of a girl named Caterina. The story tells of a girl who kills herself because she doesn't want to marry the man chosen for her. Legend says that she was in love with someone else.

    This pass, above Bova, owes its name to a medieval legend of a certain Caterina, the Zita, i.e. the fiancée. Legend has it that she committed suicide in order not to marry the man she was destined for, as she was in love with another man
