Summary
Miriam Delly: The Curse
"The small town of Rocamore was situated on a rocky cliff rising above the still, clear waters of the river. Willows and oaks leaned over the water. There was still a part of the old walls, which once surrounded the lower town. There were also two towers called the Clock Gate. Old palaces and churches, half Romanesque and half Gothic, and beautiful the porticos survived the feudal wars and revolutions. If the archaeologists were to be believed, there was once a Roman city. One of them even claimed that there were underground passages in which the inhabitants of Rocamore took refuge during the siege. But no one in the city was interested in their old stones, their rich ones gardens full of fruit and flowers, so they never left here, and if they did, then only for a very short time".
