The legend of the Marble Falls known as "Cascate del Marmore"
The legend of the Marble Falls known as "Cascate del Marmore", located in Umbria, Italy, tells the love story of Velino, a young shepherd, and Nera, a nymph. They were separated by the gods, jealous of their love. Nera was transformed into a river, while Velinus became the river that flows into the marble falls. Taking pity on the separated lovers, a god turned Vellum into a waterfall, allowing him to reunite with Nera once again. The water of Velino flows into the waters of Nera, and the white foam that results is often associated with the white marble, which gives the waterfall its name.
