PETTANEDDA
Pettenedda has always been imagined as a very old woman who spends her life combing her hair (hence her name) with her very long nails, a lock of tousled hair without ever being able to put them in order, which is why it is always said to be very angry. Sardinian mothers, to explain to children the normal noises that are heard at the bottom of a well, caused by flowing water, invented this character, and told the children that they should never go near that well and above all they should not lean out, because Pettenedda would grab them with its horrible claws and would drag them to the bottom of the well, making them his slaves for eternity.
