Ceraunias: according to the popular superstition, these are petrified lightning with magic powers. They are smoothed stones, one of the innovative productions which has characterized the most the Neolithic age. These green stones come from the Western Alps and were traded in all the Italian territory and turned in to working tools or decorative objects. The air of mystery and magic which these ancient objects emanate turned them in to valued collectors’ items.
