The Legend of the Innamorata

It was in 1534, the coasts of Elba were being raided by the pirate Barbarossa and his Saracens, but it did not matter to two lovers like Lorenzo and Maria.

That afternoon, it was 14th July, Lorenzo reached the beach earlier, Maria looked down for her lover from the top of the path, but she saw a mob of men disembark from a small boat....

She watched powerlessly the violent fight that broke out; Lorenzo fought with honor, but exhausted, he was taken prisoner. Maria ran towards the beach in time to see a pirate ship sail away after having thrown a dying body into the sea. Recognizing the body to be her lover's, Maria threw herself into the sea in a last desperate outburst of love.

It is from this ancient fishermen's story that the beach gets its name INNAMORATA- Lover's Creek.

EVENTS:
Every 14th July there is a historical commemoration
of the lover's legend and the Challenge of the Shawl:

There is a historical procession through the streets of Capoliveri; the church bells announce the torchlight procession and the Innamorata-Lover's Creek is illuminated by a thousand torches.

On the beach of the Innamorata there is a rowing boat race called the Challenge of the Shawl with four rowing boats that represent the four districts of Capoliveri (La Torre, Il Fosso, La Fortezza, Il Baluardo).
The race starts from Morcone beach and finishes at the Rock of the Shawl to win the shawl that Maria left behind. The winning boat nominates the girl who will impersonate Maria the following year.
