SCENT OF LEGEND

Lilli and her daughter Giusi participate in a friendly contest that recalls Aleramo’s legendary ride. The crew that buys the most original object along the way (three days) will receive a plate as a prize. Lilli sees a medieval knight riding beside the car along the road in Acqui. Giusi can’t see him, and Lilli is upset. The knight is also seen as a painter on the seafront, having just finished painting the canvas. Lilli decides to buy it because he hopes to win the plate. Giusi still does not see the rider. She sees him; however, the next day, when the horse loses iron, the knight finds him and replies with a piece of brick. On the third day, upon arrival, the horse falls because of tiredness, but some veterinary surgeons, who had received the call from Giusi, save its life. Lilli wins the plate; she’s happy because Giusi has saved the horse’s life, but she doubts: during these three days, did she see ghosts or an actual horse and a true knight?
