The Ghost House in Sant Agnello...

THE GHOST HOUSE IN SANT AGNELLO.....

Villa Niccolini is an old villa that is in the Cappuccini district, it was built in the 20's by the builder Alessandro Limongelli.  

Villa Niccolini before restoration

This villa has a very long story behind , everyone of Sant'Agnello has heard talk about the mistery of the ghosts of Villa Niccolini.  The legend says that one time some monks who were evicted, threw a curse on everyone that buys the house, and every time someone buys it, they seem to die a mysterious death! 

Recently some people  say that  there are some ghosts in Villa Niccolini's zone... is it the truth or it's just a mistake of deluded people???!!

A very rich Russian Man bought it and restored the house in 2010. He is still alive...!

Its position on the cliffs.
You can see Vesuvius behind!

If you are very brave, watch the video, but not alone...

CHRISTMAS IN ITALY

Italian people celebrate Christmas with their family . They have a big dinner on Christmas Eve and on Christmas day .

They usually have spaghetti with seafood and several kinds of fish on Christmas Eve, while they have a special lunch with lasagna, roast-beef , potatos and vegetables on Christmas Day.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          They  complete their lunch with zeppole and struffoli.

Struffoli

They play tombola and cards , They meet friends and have fun together.

Tombola - it's like Bingo!

                                              People exchange presents on this day.

People also decorate their house with a big Christmas tree and a crib.(a nativity scene)

Presepe (Crib)

In the centre of my town there was a big Christmas tree with a lot of lights and a bridge infront of it. Behind the Christmas tree there was the Christmas elf’s house.

There was also an ice-skating rink where people could have fun and listen to music.
