Sambuca is a name derived by Italian "Santa Buca" (English Holy Hole, please don't laugh or think strange silly thinks). Therefore the name of this place is strictly related to a "hole" or a "cavern". What about caverns in this area:

1) as already written "Sambuca" refers to caverns.

2) in the hilly area surrounding some caverns are attested. In particular near Montenero (a Livorno neighbourhood) there is the Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary of Montenero (Montenero means Black Mountain) that is built next to a cave (sometimes open)

3) in another Livorno’s neighbourhood (Castellaccio, something like ugly castle in English) there are cavern used in the past by partisans during the WWII and outlaws in other periods.

4) there’s a legend telling the story of a child, a girl, living with nuns in Livorno because her family has no money to pay for the children. Now and then this girl stayed in Sambuca doing work for the nuns and, considering her young age, sometimes she escaped to stay alone for a few time, playing with some self-handmade toys. Getting around, she found a passage in the basement of Sambuca, which was the entrance of a little cavern with fresh waters. It may have been the monastery pit. The legend told the little girl liked flowers and she planted some in the cave and astonishing, despite almost no light, the plants grew and flourished. The power to create (to give live, as to the flower of the legend) is related to female figures, and caves, the belly of the earth, is sometimes connected to the cult of creative female deities, such as the black madonnas

Changing topic, the phoenix…
There is a phoenix painted in Sambuca. The Huygens’ Sacellum has a phoenix painted. The Armenian monk had a pendant with a phoenix.

The phoenix... a mythological bird symbolizing… immortality!
It is an ancient Egyptian symbol, as the two circles in the photo taken by Tourist… symbol of Ra.
And how old is the chronovisor battery? Little doctor said more or less 10000 years…

Intelligenti pauca!

Some more news about Sambuca. Reading all the discussion, I have had the feeling that someone could doubt about what is written. Obviously, the truthfulness can only be tested at the end of the story and, maybe, speaking face to face with little doctor, but I would like to add a little fact-checking.

For example, Bianco da l’Ancolina, one of many involved with the Chronovisor…

There are written documents attesting that Bianco da l’Ancolina lived for a time in Sambuca and, more important, this document tells how Bianco was very devoted. One night, after much prayer, Bianco began to read the sacred books, but the devil appeared to him, ordering him to stop. Devil appeared with the shape of a very tall hermit, in middle-age Italian hermit is “romito”, and big-hermit “romitone”. Romito and Romitone are words used in the original document.

There are a lot of other stories about Sambuca, and other apparitions... sometimes devils, sometimes angels and sometimes… who knows!

The book is “Annali di Livorno – dalla sua origine sino all’anno di Gesù Cristo 1840”, in English “Livorno’s annals – from origin until Jesus Christ year 1840”

This is a little fact-checking to corroborate Little Doctors information.

The stories about Sambuca say that the devil was then driven away by hermit monks, thanks to some particularly mystics and devotees, such as Nanni di Gualteri. It looks like the hilly areas around Sambuca are in some way “magic” and also nowadays sometimes stories about ghosts or strange creature are heard.

Holy hermits are now away, maybe “someone” is back.
In any case, we don't know exactly who appear in Sambuca, but for sure it is a place with "magic feeling" or a "place of power".

Huygens wanted to build his villa there to protect the secret of the place and to have easy access to those underground. In those underground Huygens he discovered those lines which then reproduced both in the church and in the stone garden near the villa. To put the lines on the floor, Antonio Huygens sought help from his cousin Christian Huygens, which was also commissioned the project for the construction of three towers that were in line with a nonknown constellation. Christian Huygens performed both projects, but unfortunately he died before seeing the fruit of his work. His project was revived 50 years later by the son of Antonio Huygens, William Philip Huygens.
Philip found the project drawings and wanted to achieve. Philip believed that those towers were mills and thus built for that purpose, but those mills do not produce a single gram of flour and a little later the entire structure was abandoned. Philip did not know that the towers had a different use, much astral. In fact to the present day just to close the three towers it was built an astronomical observatory ... but that's another story ...
The presumed death / disappearance of Giovanni Antonio Huygens seems to date back to 1717, but his body was never found, a legend tells that Huygens disappeared during an evocation and the distraught family, staged a fake funeral. It's certain that Huygens had hidden in the surroundings of Valle Benedetta an immense treasure.
A specific brotherhood is on the trail of the treasure. Huygens It is thought to have found the treasure brought by the Knights Templar and hidden by blacks hermits in the basement of the Pieve di Saint Lucia. But do not forget that under the parish the blacks hermits were guarding even the Romitone mirror.

Hi Mjolnir, as I like very much this story I say You congratulation for Your historical confirmations . For example about Bianco da l'Ancolina. You're going in a right and specific way of investigation: the annals I read last year finding the same astonishing confirmation.
Even the Venerabile Luca is named , or the name of the ancient Port Magnalis, or Livorno that had been called LivornA in the past, and so on with many other details that never go contrary to the Little Doctor's story.
Those annals had been obviously cut during the time, but we have to consider that there is a very old book containing the complete informations and Little Doctor is releasing them step by step.
I liked Your posts Mjolnir - I'm sure You 'll find out other incredible details relating to the story.
Thank You.

Little Doctor, all truly interesting. Therefore there are Templar coming back from Damietta, a chronovisor with 10000 years and a kind of nuclear energy, phoenix... and three towers with astral use...

I have an idea about which constellation is the unknown constellation... Little Doctor, can I write the name or do you prefer to leave it hidden?

Maybe some aerial view of the area with the towers could be useful to check the constellation.

By the way, the little astronomical observatory exists and is attested in book and also on the Web (take a look to wikipedia for example).

A last question, or better... a pleasure. Is there someone that can post the photo of the lines of Benedetta Valley church?

It could be useful to see the line in their entire form and not just a peace of the whole picture (as in the tourist already posted photos).

Thanks
