"People called him Colapesce/ because he was in the sea like a fish/ where he came from no one knew/ perhaps he was the son of the god Neptune". Thus tells the ancient song dedicated to Cola son of the sea, Argonauta degli Abissi. A boy - fish who three times caught the challenge of Emperor Federico II and three times immersed in the deeper waters and re -emerged winner, delivering the cup, the crown, the ring to the king.
Colapesce had the number three in its destiny: it emerges that one of the three columns holding Sicily was close to collapse. Colapesce, son of the land and the sea, did not hesitate to save his island, and replaced the column. Still today Colapesce is there, spirit of the sea, wave, vital breeze, alga, mineral.
