Adele & Saverio just like Romeo & Juliet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Romeo and Juliet were not the only young lovers whose romance was not approved by their families.
\nAdele and Saverio<\/strong> suffered the same drama at the beginning of the XIX centuru, many years after the Verona couple had. And once again no happy ending<\/strong> awaited the couple. Sometimes history is not a good teacher at all.
\nThe family of the young Adele did not approve her love for the noble Saverio Maricola though both families were rich and aristocratic: the De Nobilis, the family of Adele, was an old aristocratic family who had been living in Catanzaro<\/a><\/strong>, Calabria<\/a>, South of Italy, since the dawn of times.
\nFierce supporters of the antique Bourbon monarchy, they despised the new liberal ideas spreading through some bourgeois families and they despised even more aristicratic families who turned to the new ideas of progress and liberalism. And quite obviously, the Maricola were one of these families.
\nNonetheless, the two teenagers loved each other tenderly<\/strong> and met every evening until one of the brothers of Adele found out about the liaison.
\nThe girl was locked in her room, at the top floor of the family palace and Saverio was rudely forbidden every contact with her.
\nCould the two passionate lovers accept the situation? Of course they could not and they kept having rendezvous though just virtual ones: Saverio used to ride under Adele\u2019s windows late in the evening. Adele recognized immediately the silver like sound produced by his lover\u2019s horse shoes and opened her windows.
\nYet one day, a sad one, the horse brought back not the knight but just his corpse: Saverio had been killed<\/strong> on his way back from his properties near the beach.
\nAdele locked herself and avoided every human contact.
\nWhen she discovered Saverio had been killed by her brothers<\/strong>, she cut every contact with anyone, family or acquaintances.
\nShe retired in the monastery of the \u201cMurate vive\u201d (\u201cWalled in alive\u201d monastery) in Naples where she died.
\nToday, the old palace of Adele and her family houses the township of Catanzaro and both night guardians and<\/strong> employees<\/strong> will confirm you there is something unnatural<\/strong> in the building: at night, sometimes a shadow resembling a veiled nun can be seen walking in the upper part of the palace. During daylight, noises can be heard and doors closes and opens though no one pushes them open or closed. The elders of the city say Adele has not found her peace yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t
