Over time stories of marine nymphs have grown more frequent, especially in the Ligurian sea.
A young sailor aboard of his “gozzo” swears that he saw at 3:30 a.m. in front of the Bay of San Fruttuoso, four female figures, with non-human appearances, swimming, diving, appearing and disappearing between rocks and waves in some kind of magical sinuous dance.
As soon as they noticed the boat, they quickly submerged and disappeared between the waves. The boy tried to find them by canvassing the territory until dawn and finally managed to capture some images with his camera.
