    Legend has it that at the beginning of the 16th century, a young man who was grazing his calves on the hills of Casteldimezzo saw a large wooden chest stuck between the rocks of the Vallugola beach. When he approached, he saw the eyes of a crucified man and his fear was such that his screams attracted the inhabitants of Casteldimezzo and Fiorenzuola

    After hours of prayers and discussions about where to place the crucifix, the chest was pulled by the calves that carried it to the front of the church of Casteldimezzo, dedicated to the martyrs St. Apollinare and St. Cristoforo, where it can still be admired today.

    Totally made of wood, very particular
