, 1/60 f/5.6, ISO 400, hand held. Napoli, Italy.

Un'antica leggenda vuole che il suo nome derivi, dall'aver il poeta latino Virgilio, nascosto nelle segrete dell'edificio un uovo magico, che aveva il potere di mantenere in piedi l'intera fortezza. La sua rottura avrebbe però provocato non solo il crollo del castello, ma anche una serie di rovinose catastrofi alla città di Napoli. Durante il XIV secolo, al tempo di Giovanna I, il castello subì ingenti danni a causa del crollo parziale dell'arco sul quale è poggiato e, per evitare che tra la popolazione si diffondesse il panico per le presunte future catastrofi che avrebbero colpito la città, la regina dovette giurare di aver sostituito l'uovo. In verità fu questa una delle tante 'magie' che si attribuirono nel Medio Evo alla figura di Virgilio, fama scaturita dalla circostanza che il poeta visse a lungo a Napoli, città che molto amava e nella quale era diventato un personaggio noto e autorevole, ritenuto un uomo capace appunto di poteri superumani, poteri che, a quanto pare, egli non si curò di smentire.

... And so we went out to see the light again... paraphrasing the Sommo.
Your BN (well built, balanced and with a wide range) is the best Easter wish.
Happy Easter Lino :-)
