Fountain of 'Granatieddi'

If there is something magic on this planet, it is water.

Everyone knows how precious rocky and natural springs are in places where faucets appeared only about 70 years ago. If there is an element that unites from a biological and cultural point of view distant populations, it is water. It is such a necessity that it goes beyond space or time and determins all choices of men. So you might observe the same phenomenon in different places in the world. Queus of women who carry water in jars, laundresses bending over big stones, thirsty passers-by who greedily drink water. It's the magic of water we are made of and we are depending on. Cilento has plenty of water and walking through the tortous alleys, it is always possible to stop at a fountain.

Now we have a stop at the Granatieddi Fountain, just before Caprioli of Pisciotta and a sharp bend. Imagine yourself walking and feeling quite hot, but very decided to conquer the small borghetto.

Suddenly the shadow of a majestic weeping willow enchants us and we drink greedily. No landslide or any fire can prevent us to quench our thirst. This fountain still preserves memory of all faces of the people of Pisciotta who stopped there cleaning, washing and drinking and still passers-by stop for a deserved break in the shadow.
