The tale of Azzurrina was passed down verbally until 1600 when a collector of stories put down on paper what now had become legend. Guendalina was different, she was born with albinism, which in that era was a symbol of witches and demons and she would have ended up by being put to death at the stake. Her father hid her in their Castle and her mother dyed her hair in order to protect her. Unfortunately, the sunlight turned her dyed hair blue. Thus was born the myth of "Azzurrina". On 21 June 1375, the ball of rags that Azzurrina was playing with ended up in a mound of snow. With a bloodcurdling scream, she disappeared into thin air, without ever being found. Every five years since then, Azzurrina makes her voice heard.
