About
An early human ancestor left footprints after a landslide, not the Devil as originally believed.
When the inhabitants of the villages of Tora and Piccilli went to bed one evening in 1816, their world was just as it had always known it—if you ignored the strange torrential rains that had been plaguing the region. The next morning, however, life was forever changed. During the night, a huge wave had swept away their mill at the mouth of the ravine due to the construction of a new bridge over the river. What could have caused such sudden, violent destruction? When the villagers inspected the newly exposed rock on the hillside, they found footprints in the solid stone. The perpetrator had left his calling card; only a violent act by humans could unleash such an evil attack on their community and only humans could leave their footprints in solid rock.
