Dark Autumn
The west part of Liguria is overflowing with tales of spirits, witches, and ghosts: even in Dolceacqua, dark stories are told, such as the spells of the witch Saga, from whom, according to legend, the name Dolceacqua (“Dus-Saga”) is derived. Starting on 12th October, the Autunnonero storytellers will lead the Ghost Tour through the narrow streets of the Téra district, the oldest heart of the village: from the Old Bridge to the Doria Castle, narrating stories of pagan myths, witch trials, bloodshed, and ghostly tales. The creative direction is by Andrea Scibilia’s Autunnonero, under the patronage of the Municipality of Dolceacqua and in collaboration with its Cultural and Recreational Centre.
