Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia in Palermo – The hidden treasure
The most famous of the Sicilian legends are those of the 'trovature'. A trovatura is the discovery of hidden treasures, invisible to all who do not know the formula for undoing the spell. Montepellegrino is said to hide a treasure, located under the cross of the Church of Santa Rosolia. To find it, you must walk up the stairs from the base to the top of the mountain, running with a glass of wine in your hand. It is necessary to arrive in front of the church at midnight on the dot, without having spilled a single drop of wine.
