Segreto
Virgil 70 BC, Magician and Poet, mystical and esoteric figure, built the Castel dell'ovo on an egg, to which he had transmitted a magical power, protector of the city. This was hung on the walls of a small secret chamber and protected by a metal cage. The reigning monarchies that followed one another had the difficult task of guarding it with care, in order to benefit from its protection. In the difficult reign of Giovanna, marked by continuous struggles for power, the egg broke and was considered the very cause of all the evils of the time. The queen, asserting herself the same powers as the Magician Virgil, replaced the egg and promised her people peace and prosperity.
