A message from the past Dopo aver parlato, nel post precedente , della storia naturale del Lago di Pilato e dei suoi "abitanti" entriamo nelle leggende di questo luogo e nella sua storia mistica fatta di diavoli e negromanti. La fama del Lago di Pilato inizia a crescere in 1200. In recent years many sorcerers come here to dedicate their books to the devil, even if the lake is not yet known as Lago di Pilato. In some maps of the time, in fact, it is called Lago di Norcia (or even Lake Averno, as the eponymous lake in Campania). The legend of Pilate's body still seems not to have been born in the thirteenth century. The oldest document on the Lake of Pilate is this: |
| |
"He [a certain prelate supremely worthy of belief, author's note] was said that in the mountains close to this town [Norcia, author's note] is a Lake said their properties by ancient demons and inhabited by them
significantly, no one today, all'infuori dei negromanti, si può avvicinare ad esso senza essere rapito dai demoni. Perciò attorno ai bordi del lago sono stati costruiti dei muri che sono conservati da custodi affinché ai negromanti non sia permesso avvicinarsi lì per consacrare i loro libri ai demoni. Perciò cotesto è ivi sommamente terribile perché ogni anno quella città invia ai demoni come tributo un uomo nell'ambito delle mura vicino al lago, i quali demoni subito subito
visibilmente
lacerano e divorano quell'uomo poiché (come dicono) se la città non lo facesse, la patria perirebbe per gli uragani. Pertanto la città ogni anno sceglie un qualche criminale e lo invia come tributo ai demoni."

"Morale
Reductorium "

Peter Bersuire
- sec. XIV
"[...] and just above [commonly called the Grotto of the Sibyl, author's note] is that lake in the Apennines in the territory of Norcia telling lies to be filled with useless demons, instead of fish. But the fame of the two places [the cave of the Sibyl and Lake, now Pilate, nda] in previous centuries seduced many and many who dabbled in necromancy or were able to learn wonderful things about these difficult mountains to climb with great difficulty and unnecessary. "
from" Illustrated Italy "Flavio Biondo
of
- sec. XV
In this document, as well as seeing to strengthen their argument of necromancy, talking about demons in the lake instead of fish. These" demons "are the tiny crustaceans, which are unique to those of
Chirocefalo Marchesoni, named after its discoverer (I speak in the post " Lake Pilate in history and legend / 1 "). The fame of this place explodes and particularly during the fifteenth century we begin to find the first references to the Lago di Pilato. Historically, before the Lake Pilate spoke of Mount Pilatus (Mount Carrier) . At that time, the legend about the death of preconosole Roman Jews were spread throughout Europe. There is a Pilate's also near Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. Before talking about the most famous legend, I want to focus again on the rite of cosacrazione
books to the devil. Fra Bernardino
Bonavoglia
is illuminating on this subject:
"At this place are people from evil places near and far and
build altars here with three hoops and placing third with a bid in the circle called the devil by the name they want to read a book to be consecrated to the devil. Those coming with a great noise and cries saying - Why am I looking for? - Answers: - I want to dedicate this book, that I want you to be obliged to do everything that is written in it whenever you call upon your work and give you my soul. - And so, signed the pact, the devil takes the book and score some characters in it, and from then on reading the book the devil is ready to do everything badly. That's how I made the unfortunate and damned men. Once that happened a while that he wanted to devote the book as predicted, there being in fact a circle, called a devil, but he was told that he was not there but had gone into the city of Ascoli, to die by the sword many of the exiles and the people who govern, and this Indeed, he will return immediately to do what you ask. Amazed man of that response, he set off for Ascoli to know the truth of this great event and came to the place of the Friars Minor, where he then lived the most holy friar Savinio of
Campello, arrived there, he exhibited for order all things done and knew that the night before among the exiles, thirty were hanged in the streets and among the slain with the sword both sides was the largest massacre in the city. Known this, firmly decided to remove the aforesaid man the art of magic and spells
which is great considering the cunning of the devil to capture the souls and to take them. This holy father told the aforesaid
Savinio
Below I have listed also an illustration of a few centuries later when you can see the circles of which we have just discussed.
Lago di Pilato - Biblioteca Vaticana - sec . XVI
Continuando la nostra indagine sui documenti riguardanti il Lago di Pilato troviamo un interessante scritto di A. Reumont :
"Sul Monte [Monte di Venere,
probabilmente il Monte Vettore, n.d.a.] c'è un laghetto accanto al quale sta una cappellina con un piccolo altare. A quel che ci disse il castellano, al tempo della necromanzia
, si facevano ivi esorcismi, durante i quali l'acqua del laghetto alzavasi in forma di nuvola ricadendo poi a terra con fracasso come di tuono e allagando tutto il paese, sicché could not be collected. The people complained with the warden, who erected a gallows in the chapel and lake, with prohibition of any act of necromancy. "
" Voyage to Italy's
Cav. Arnolfo of Harff of Cologne on the Rhine "by A. | Reumont
- 1497 | | So apparently, at that time near the lake must have been a chapel and a gallows to intimidate alchemists to climb up to the lake to perform their rituals. Returning to find places near the lake
Nicholas
Peranzoni
adds another thing:
"Two are the causes for which go to make [the necromancers, nda] this [honor its books to the devil, nda] in Lake Pilate: first, because that lake is
distant relationships with men [... secondly] because there are embedded two circles inscribed on the stones near the embankment of the lake with some characters, which they say are necessary to reach the magic art, some say that they have written to the poet Virgil, other Cecco d'Ascoli . "De Laudibus Piceni " of Nicholas Peranzoni
- 1795
In fact, many authors of the '500 '600 and consider Cecco d'Ascoli one of the most assiduous and influential patrons
of the lake. Cecco d'Ascoli
, like many
intellectuals of his time, he studied astrology and alchemy, disciplines not explicitly prohibited but often could lead to heretical teachings. In fact it was ordered burned at the stake by the Inquisition and died in front of the church of Santa Croce in Florence September 16, 1327. In spit of land that divides the basins of Lake complementary Pilate, in recent times, was found a remarkable
testimony. The "Great Stone" is a flat rock that is engraved on the surface of mysterious letters. Because the stone was found at the point where the necromancers likely then carried out their blasphemous rituals, we can assume some connection with them. The study of his signs are still in place.
The "Great Stone" before moving to the Museum of the Cave of the Sibyl
The "Great Pietra" si trova attualmente esposta al Museo della Grotta della Sibilla a | Montemonaco
, ma, ahimè, il museo, per la scarsità dei fondi, è attualmente chiuso e non è certa la data della sua riapertura. Entriamo ora nella leggenda del Lago di Pilato più raccontata, e quindi più conosciuta. La fonte è lo scritto di Antoine | de La Sale, che va a riportare le testimonianze dei popolani raccolte in quell'epoca nella zona di Norcia (1420): | "E ancora le genti dicono che, quando Pilato vide che non poteva più salvarsi la vita, supplicò una grazia che gli fu accordata. Dunque domandò che, dopo la sua morte, il suo corpo fosse put on a cart pulled by two pairs of bulls, and were left to go where the bulls were brought to the venture. And they say that it was made. But the emperor, that he was amazed at this request, he wanted to know where the cart would be direct: it did follow, until the bulls reached the edge of this lake [on the mountain, leaving the imprints of the wagon as he says Nicholas | Peranzoni | , see photo below]. | | | | the mark left, according to tradition, by the bulls driving the cart with the body of Pilate. | |
Bulls jumped in with you the wagon and the body of Pilate as quickly as a result should have been run as quickly as possible. It is for this reason it is called Lake of Pilate. [...] This lake, in my
approximation, as is the boundary of the city of Moulins
. At the center is a small rocky island, which once was walled all around, yet there are the foundations of the walls in several places. From the Earth to that island there is a small covered passage of water to a height of five feet, as I said those people. This step was destroyed in a way that can not be imagined by the inhabitants of the country, and this is because those who were on the island to consecrate their books for the art of necromancy could not find. This island is very guarded and defended by the people of the country because when someone comes and practice the art of the devil, after a storm so large for the country that ruined all the fruits and blessings of the area. And that is why when the people of the country, which is always very vigilant in this regard, someone surprises you, this is ill accept. Not so long ago that two men were taken, one of whom was a priest. The priest was brought to this city of Norcia and already there was tortured and burned, and the other was cut into pieces and thrown into the lake from those who had taken. "

Biblioteca Nazionale di Parigi -
Antoine de La Sale - 1420 Oltre alla leggenda citata dal de La Sale riguardante il Lago di Pilato, ne gira anche un'altra, forse meno conosciuta. Si dice che Pilato, dopo aver effettuato qualche timido tentativo di salvare la vita a Gesù, si fece portare una bacinella d'acqua e,
immergendovi le mani, si proclamò innocent of the blood of Christ, thus giving rise to the well known phrase "wash its hands". Nature, crime that horrified the Empire was doing, reacted here, thousands of miles away from the scene: the mountains were opened, and where you opened the abyss, the lake was formed. As I have shown these lines in the area of \u200b\u200bLago di Pilato is always surrounded by an aura of mystery, and even if everything said was only the fruit of popular imagination is always nice to go around these places and imagine people

Cecchetti | Refuge in 1933 before its destruction.
| Before closing I would like to add another |
information. Reading an old text of the paths of the Sibillini Mountains I discovered that
rashly, in 1933 the section of the Eagle
CAI concluded that it needed a foothold to make more comfortable exploring
climbing on the nearby Pizzo del Diavolo , builds a shelter near the Lake of Pilate, and is dedicated to PE
Cecchetti, who died tragically at Gran Sasso.
The shelter, built in an area that was free from objective danger, is destroyed, the following winter, a colossal avalanche tumbled from Mount Carrier, which makes literally explode, hurling scrap to below the east wall of Pizzo. |

GRAZIE ONOREVOLE COLOMBO, LEI E’ UN UOMO VERO, UMANO, CIVILE E SE FOSSE LEI A GOVERNARE QUESTO PAESE NOI NON SOFFRIEMMO E NON MORIREMMO PRIMA DEL NOSTRO TEMPO. LE VOGLIO BENE. War Disabled Furio Colombo from "Made Daily" of 07/07/10 Share Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 13:08 Nelle retrovie di una confusa e grottesca “manovra Tremonti”, fatta di refusi, cancellazioni, cambiamenti clamorosi e ritocchi non notati a favore di chi è in grado di ricattare o pretendere, è scoppiata la guerra ai malati. No, questa volta il senatore Azzollini, che si presta a giocarsi la reputazione se padron Tre-monti cambia umore o cambia idea, sembra sia stato lasciato libero di tagliare i privilegi dei disabili (tipo avere qualcuno che ti imbocchi se sei immobile o che ti sollevi se non respiri) fino all’ultimo centesimo. Facile dire che: dovevano sfoltire la costosissima massa di auto blu (90 mila) nel Paese dei Balocchi degli eletti e dei nominati, ma siccome in ogni auto blu c’è qualcuno in perfetta salute che non vuole andare a piedi (o la moglie che fa la spesa, o i piccoli che vanno a scuola), meglio infierire sulle sedie a rotelle. I malati sono più miti. Eppure non può essere vero. Non per ragioni di normali sentimenti umani, ma perché in Italia ai disabili vengono dati centesimi. Dunque il fedele Azzollini della Commissione Bilancio del Senato sta tagliando centesimi dai centesimi. O, quando è possibile, sta eliminando l’intera prestazione (per esempio l’accompagnatore, d’ora in poi vietato, qualunque sia il grado di incapacità di prender cura di se stesso, salvo l’immobilità assoluta). Resta il fatto che da un lato la sofferenza e umiliazione inflitta ai cittadini italiani disabili is severe, cruel, arbitrary, unrelated to reality. On the other savings can only be minimal if you think that when the tables are now scissors to save Italy provide for more severe disability and are reliant on a monthly check for survival of up to 250 €. Meanwhile, the blue car fleets after rushing to meetings ponderous disaster to save Italy from the House, the Senate in Palazzo Chigi, and in all other buildings, institutions and Authority. They promised us the lie to the fake invalids. Instead they are attacking the disabled true, no matter how serious wheelchair for a wheelchair. And to make it clear that this government, when it comes to privileges not joking, last week searched the house and did prosecute a patient with ALS (director of the Luca Coscioni). Knew that in fact the infamous bottle of "Badiola" - who takes a prescription to alleviate the evil - there is marijuana. But this is a government of people who do not yield to easy emotions. After all they are saving Italy.
