Description

The myth of the Fairy Morgana draws its origins from a phenomenon of optical refraction unique in the world, by virtue of which, in particular light conditions, in the waters in front of the City of Reggio Calabria you can see life-size images of the City of Messina, homes, cars, citizens. It is a phenomenon of worldwide interest, with a thousand suggestions. It originates from the myth of Morgana, a fairy of Celtic origin who induced fantastic visions in sailors to lure them into a trap and lead them to drown. A beautiful statue by Fata Morgana" it was made by the sculptors Francesco Caridi and Filippo Malice and placed on a rock on the promenade of Reggio in the direction of the street of the same name in 2006, unfortunately it was seriously damaged and removed.
