The legend of Kangucavallo

According to the legend, the Kangucavallo was born at the time the lighthouse was built. The lighthouse, thanks to its coloured beams (white, green and red), can be seen during the night from 50 km distance and it’s a landmark for tourists.

Once upon a time a poor family, mother, father and their 2 children (10 and 3 years old), made a very long journey in order to reach the lighthouse, but once arrived in S. Maurizio they were really tired and the youngest child was not able to climb up the stairs as the steps were far too high for him.

Looking at the three-coloured beams the father said: “I wish there was a horse which could carry my wife, my daughter and my self and kangaroo to carry my son in the pouch”. His wish was fulfilled as in that moment the Kangucavallo appeared, half horse and half kangaroo.

The Kangucavallo is a very meek animal it can easily be your friend but it needs freedom, it can’t be locked up or forced to do things it doesn’t want to.
