“Mount Fravort was a happy father, respected by his three sons: Sidero (Iron), Cobalto (Arsenic) and Cupro (Copper) and his daughter Ocra (Ochre). They were good kids, well-educated, they decided to leave their paternal home and explore the world, to bring back new treasures, knowledge and joy for everybody. As soon as they were far, they were affected by the evilness of people, becoming masters of in performing evil activities. They brought about fights, wars, libels and hard feelings. The Lord decided to hit them with a lightning, so that even the memory of them could be cancelled. The Old Father Fravort implored the forgiveness for his kids and they were brought back to their home, imprisoned in the centre of the earth, to repent on their very sad past actions. Their tears seeped through the soil and reached the cave in Vetriolo, the Cave of Strong Water, where the source of the famous thermal water – rich in iron and arsenic - is located. The water can gift people who believe in its properties with health and joy. Ocra, the daughter, was imprisoned in areas deeper than where  her brothers were kept. Her tears are the source of the light mineral water. Even today, every night at midnight, King Fravort descends into the earth to visit his kids and brings news regarding the good effects of the water on those who believe in their properties".
