Piplon, a foolish devil, one day fell in love with a beautiful girl named Gesandra, but the young girl would not have anything to do with him. To deceive her, therefore, he disguised himself as a knight and sought the collaboration of Brother Gesualdo, a local religious man, to intercede for him. But the friar did not let himself be ensnared and deceived him in turn. He told him to come back in a week and carved a rock in his own likeness; Once the devil returned, Brother Gesualdo convinced him that the girl would marry him only if he waited for her, immobile, in that place for seven years, seven months and seven days and offered to stay with him while waiting. Months passed and then years and Piplon fell asleep, carelessly letting the sand carried by the wind cover him and transform him into the rock that can still be seen today on the road to Castellana, in the municipality of Gropparello.
