Delve further to learn more about the inspirations behind these menacing monsters.
The Red Monk of Assisi
Set in the early 1200s during the war between Assisi and Perugia, this spectral figure is shrouded in betrayal and tragedy. According to local lore, the Red Monk betrayed Assisi to Perugia by revealing a secret passage through the city walls. This act led to the brutal sacking of Assisi and the curse of the Red Monk, whose spirit is said to haunt the nearby woods, appearing after midnight to wander restlessly.
The Mantelloni
Inhabiting the slopes of Mont Blanc, the Mantelloni are beings resembling goblins and elves, distinguished by their long cloaks that conceal a peculiar deformity: they have no feet. Mischievous and spiteful, they delight in pranks such as tying cows' tails together and disturbing sleeping humans. According to legend, placing containers filled with barley or lentils on windowsills can deter them, as they are compelled to count every grain before causing mischief.
The Ghost Monks of Mount Subasio
Once monks of a monastery near Assisi, these spirits are cursed to repeat rituals and processions they neglected in life. After a cataclysmic event claimed their lives and destroyed their monastery, they were condemned to eternal penance. Witnessed as ghostly figures with lit torches, they roam the hills around Mount Subasio, forever enacting the rituals they once disrespected.
