The island of San Giulio and the Orta lake´s history
The Oceanman Orta in Italy will take
place saturday 20 June 2015 on the waters of the Lake of Orta.
This
beautiful lake is located in the province of Novara, in the Piedmont region in
northern Italy and is the westernmost of the pre-alpine lakes. Located 290
meters above sea level, has an area of 18.2 square meters and took the name of
Lake of Orta only from the seventeenth century.
Previously it was called Lake of San Giulio,
taking the name from the main village close to it, Orta San Giulio and from the
island placed at its center, the island of San Giulio.
A
legend makes even more magical this lake. At the end of the fourth century, the
two greek brothers Giulio and Giuliano (later saints) arrived on the shores of
the lake to shoot down the places of worship pagan and to build churches, by
permission of the Roman Emperor Theodosius I that, at that time, made Christianity
the mandatory religion of the empire.
Legend
tells that St. Giulio had left his brother Giuliano the task of building in
Gozzano the ninety-ninth church, trying to find by himself the place where to
build the hundredth.
Founded
the right place in the small island, but not finding anyone that ferry him,
Giulio knock down his cloak on the water sailing on it.
On the
island, Giulio defeated dragons and snakes that living there, obvious symbol of
pagan superstition, sending them away forever and laying the foundations of the
church in the same place where now stands the Basilica of San Giulio.
