Synopsis

It is a deep connection of imaginary characters and really existed ones in the historical context of Canavese, described in an almost maniacal way regarding the time in which the events are set. The myth is part of the sequence of the story of a warrior priestess: the legendary Ypa, a character of the Celtic tradition. The events told with a very choreographic narrative take inspiration from ancient stories and myths of the Celtic rule – Ypa, Knappe, Lucente – followed by the Roman invasion of Eporedia up to the origin of the “Curtis Medievale” – the Curtis Canava” – and Arduino of Dadone, better known as Arduino of Ivrea, the first king of Italy. The gripping strips follow one another with ancient figures still present in the local folklore, such as the Masche and the witch hunt, the Knights Templar, the Tuchinaggio, Napoleon and the Chiusella battle, making readers travel through time up to the twentieth century and the Savoia. The historical connotation and the geographic location set the tales in the lands of Canavese with its traditions and the cultural value of its roots: the water kingdom, a warrior queen who sacrifices herself for her people and challenges the will of Gods of the Eddica mythology, with tribes in revolt, describing places that still we can visit, such as the gold and metal mines, the sacred path of souls with its graffiti, symbols and signs of devotion to the Gods and to the Earth.
