[QUOTE="LITTLE DOCTOR, post: 189420, member: 7165"] Lionardo da Vinci, after the experience he had in Montenero, more than frightened, was confused, but also disappointed that he had not received the requested assistance from the local religious. The only help the religious gave was an overnight stay for him and the hunter. The next morning the two walked on the way back, but since the hunter noticed Lionardo's disappointment, he proposed a much longer alternative route through the forest that would take them to the village of Colognole where an ancient pagan people, according to an ancient legend, had built a temple dedicated to water. These people, who lived immediately after the prehistoric era, were worshipers of water, because they believed that water was the expression of a God who manifested himself on earth in liquid form in order to better reach every place, even the bowels of the man, in addition to those of the earth. Legend tells that the water of those places had marked magical-healing properties. To support this legend it must be specified that this water flowed from the mountains called Lecceta and Monte Maggiore. The waters that arise from these hills form a river that descends to the sea. In ancient times this river flowed right near the church of San Jacopo in Acquaviva. Unfortunately, in modern times, the natural river bed has been repeatedly deflected and buried to be able to build roads and build buildings: the current naval academy of Livorno is one of the main buildings involved. Located just behind the ancient church, it incorporated the tunnels that once led to the original source of the Acquaviva. The legend of the water temple has now been almost forgotten, but it was well known until the Middle Ages. In fact, even the Templars landed on the Livorno coast in 1221 later learned of this legend and having already ascertained the healing properties of the spring water of San Jacopo, they decided to verify the reliability of the legend. For this reason they wanted to go up the river called Rio Maggiore from the name of the apostle Giacomo called the "Maggiore" who crossed it in antiquity.
