These verses narrate a miracle performed by the Madonna della Libera, protector of the sailors of Rodi Gargano, that is, one day the altar of the cathedral was suddenly found illuminated. After a storm, the bishop took the statue of the virgin and carried it on a boat; this did not sink, because the Madonna, who was surrounded by patron saints, performed the miracle of calming the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molfetta and her Rosary<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some old fishermen from Molfetta, which is the most important fishing center in Puglia, state that until a few years ago, when the poor supper ended, the crew of the paranza gathered below deck in the stern part of the boat, near the small niche where they painted usually the image of the Madonna, a lamp was lit and the sweetest prayers were recited, accompanying them with a sad, monotonous and heartfelt melody that moved. Afterwards the rosary was recited which lasted up to an hour<\/p>\n\n\n\n
