The legend of Santa Giusta

In the village of Chiaramonti there is a church dedicated to Santa Giusta. It seems that here there was a spring whose water was able to cure every disease. Over the years several believers received the grace of the saint, and wanted to leave gifts and goods. In this way a great treasure was accumulated. One day four bandits tried to steal the gold, but they were trapped in the church and drowned under the water that flowed out of the spring. Shortly before their death the men repented, apologizing to Saint Justa, and she saved their souls by putting them to protect the treasure for eternity. Today are well visible 4 skulls walled in correspondence of the main entrance.
