Once upon a time, in the ancient city of Brindisi, there lived a powerful sorcerer named Virgil. Legend has it that Virgil used his magical powers to create a hidden underground passage that connected the port of Brindisi to the city of Taranto, nearly 80 kilometers away. The secret tunnel, known as the "Virgilian Way," was said to be used by the sorcerer to travel great distances in the blink of an eye, without ever being seen by mere mortals.
It is said that Virgil was able to create the tunnel with the help of the spirits of the underworld, who were summoned to do his bidding. The tunnel was reportedly guarded by fierce beasts and dark spirits, who would attack any who dared to enter without the proper knowledge and protection.
As the centuries passed, the Virgilian Way was forgotten and the entrance to the tunnel was lost. However, some still believe that the tunnel exists and that the entrance is hidden somewhere in the port of Brindisi, waiting to be discovered by those brave enough to seek it out. While there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of the Virgilian Way, the legend continues to capture the imaginations of locals and visitors alike, keeping alive the magic and mystery of this ancient port city.
