Two legends in Firenze

A moonlight shows a way to run away from the church and from the Devil.

Now you can still see the Lady Berta's Head on the window!

Cecco D'Ascoli points the finger against Lady Berta and says: "You will never remove your head from that window!". In that moment, Berta changes in a stone statue.

You will never remove your head from that window!

2) The night before the stake time, the Devil goes to Cecco and says: ''Drink some water,so you can be safe"... But Lady Berta hears everything.

Drink some water, so you can be safe!

From that moment, we can feel the breeze of  the puff of the Devil in Dello Studio Street.

Finally  the Devil understands that Father Cristoforo has cheated. The Devil begins to puff... And he's still waiting!

1)This story begins the 16th of September 1327. Cecco D'Ascoli is an astrologer. This is the reason why he is condamned to die on the stake.

Father Cristoforo says: "All right, all right, you win! Let me go inside the dome of  Santa Maria del Fiore just one minute... I need to pray.". The Devil accepts and waits outside.

In the morning, Berta opens the window of the church "Santa Maria Maggiore" and tells to the people of Florence: "Don't give Cecco D'Ascoli any water!"

Don't give Cecco D'Ascoli any water!

Father Cristoforo is scared because the Devil is following him to catch his soul.
