The legend of the 3 stone balls
An old legend is told in S.Agata. "If you find 1 stone sphere in the soil you have to look for the 2 others, because there are hidden 3 stone balls. In the middle of those 3 you will find a treasure."
We checked the locations where stone spheres were found: Dugenta-Moiano-Sta.M.Vicolo
The triangle forms a perfect geometric shape and its centre is S. Agata de Goti. COINCIDENCE?

Stone balls can be found all over the world. They come in all shapes and all sizes, from perfect sphere shape to egg like, weighing up to 16 tons. Their age and source is still enigmatic, although geologists can explain the composition of some of the stone balls.
In S. Agata vicinity Mr. Romano found about 10 locations, where the owners had put stone spheres into their private gardens. The largest sphere he found in Razzano, 120cm diameter. Mr. Romano has documented all spheres with size, location, composition. On Nov. 11,2008 he has launched a public call for stone balls, hoping some more owners will reveill their well kept secret.
During my visit to S. Agata pyramid, I had the pleasure to be invited into private homes of locals. In Casa Mauriello, a romantic Bed+Breakfast place I was shown one more stone sphere of remarkable size. Also in the contrada of Bosco Cupo there are stone spheres (70 cm diameter) in private gardens.
A big surprise was waiting for me in Napels' Royal Castle: at least 100 perfectly shaped stone balls are stored there in the courtyard and next to the fortification walls. Piled up in a stack of 3, theses spheres are grey or white, 40-60 cm diameter, some very time-worn with incisions and cuts, some perfectly polished like marbles.
Have they been used as catapult ammunition? weighing 100-200 kg? Where is the catapult? Not one in sight!
