Its cult dates back to the prehistoric times of the Roman, Greek and Celtic civilizations. Favorite tree by gods and men, so much so that keeping a chip of this wood was thought to preserve from misfortunes. This belief goes back to our recent past, when in Abruzzo oak leaves on which lightning had fallen were gathered to entrust them to poor recruits leaving for the war. It was thought that thanks to this talisman, soldiers could not be hit by bullets and this is based on the belief that where lightning once fell it will never fall again.
