A parish priest, who is gathering legends about Val Marecchia, writes<strong> the history of a certain Guendalina<\/strong>, daughter of Costanza and Ugolinuccio Malatesta \u2013 Lords of Montebello, <strong>who has gone missing on an early-summer day<\/strong> in a document called <em>\u201cMons belli et Deline\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The child, who was probably between 5 and 8 years old, has never been found.<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that since then, her ghost can be heard, and in some cases even seen, <strong>every five years in the rooms of the castle in which she got trapped<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s start from the beginning\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"title-evidenza\">Azzurrina&#8217;s disappearance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to what the parish priest wrote, the real name of the child was Adelina, or Delina, both diminutives of the name Adele, which was much used in Medieval times. But it was probably guesswork, as until then history had only been told orally.<\/p>\n<p>The first book in which Guendalina\u2019s history appeared was written by Tommaso Molari at the beginning of the 20th century and was called <em>\u201cMemorie sul Castello di Montebello di Romagna\u201d<\/em> (lit. Memories from the Castle of Montebello di Romagna\u201d). It was a collection of folk tales about the little hamlet of Montebello.<\/p>\n<p>According to the book, <strong>Guendalina disappeared on 21st June 1375 in the snowfield of the ancient castle<\/strong>, as she was playing with a ball of cloths.<\/p>\n<p>The child was considered \u201cstrange\u201d for the times. <strong>Apparently she was albino<\/strong>: her face was translucent, her hair white and her eyes enormous and blue. These characteristics were likely to isolate her from society, taking her to death.<\/p>\n<p>In order to protect her from the judgements of others, <strong>her parents decided to colour her hair with a dye made of herbs<\/strong>, <strong>which<\/strong> \u2013 reacting to sun and air \u2013 <strong>rapidly gave her hair light-blue reflections<\/strong>, arousing even more suspicions in the looks of others.<\/p>\n<p>More and more concerned about her, Costanza and Ugolinuccio Malatesta decided to keep her hidden, making two guards \u2013 Domenico and Ruggero \u2013 watch over her. <strong>They affectionately started to call her \u201c<em>Azzurrina<\/em>\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Locked up in the rooms of the castle, t<strong>he child spent the following years guarded day and night<\/strong>, until one day she suddenly disappeared, with no one knowing anything about her or finding her body.<\/p>\n<p>Since then every five years, on 21st June, at the summer solstice, the child\u2019s voice desperately echoes through the rooms of the castle, attracting curious people and passionate for paranormal who gather here to try to investigate the origin of the phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>As hard as it is to understand the truth about this mystery,<strong> it is conceivable to think that the oral transmission of the legend helped to enrich it with details, some of which are inaccurate and hard to prove<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"title-evidenza\">Paranormal qnd mystery: Azzurrina&#8217;s voice<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78717\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78717\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78717\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelemiliaromagna.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Montebello-di-Torriana-RN_leggenda_azzurrina.jpeg\" alt=\"&quot;Ritratto&quot; ufficiale di Azzurrina, disegnato dalla medium Novella Parisini\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78717\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montebello di Torriana (RN) | Official &#8220;portrait&#8221; of Azzurrina, drawn by the medium Novella Parisini<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The first experiments were carried out in 1990<\/strong>.
