Azzurrina



There is a certain charm to the Province of Rimini, Italy. The location looks like a fairy tale place with castles and villages overlooking thick forests and misty hills. But there is a mysterious event of a ghost girl with blue hair, seen in the Dark Age castle of Borgo Montebello. Her name is Azzarrina and she's lived there for centuries. A victim of a curse, who mysteriously vanished while playing within the castle itself. No trace of her was ever found but her spirit remains there. Since the 14th century, she's often been heard and seen still. Every five years she's popped up and has been playing, laughing or crying. 

She was born Guendalina Malatesta in 1370, and the daughter of the Montebello feudal lord Uguccione. She was an albino and kept away from other children to stop rumours spreading about her appearance, as it was believed albinism was associated with witchcraft. The girl had striking blue eyes and white hair the colour of snow. Her mother dyed her daughter's hair black although after washes the girl's hair tint faded to look light blue. It was because of this she became known as Azzurrina. Her father was so worried that he sent two guards to monitor the girl wherever she went. While under the watchful gaze of the guards, she could never be bullied or attacked. However, one day she chased after a ball that rolled down steps. The two guards ran after her and then they heard her screaming. Both Azzurrrina and the ball were gone.

The castle today is full of legends about this blue haired girl. She appears every five years during a Summer Solstice, with haunting activity. When the castle's museum opened to the public in 1990 it attracted a lot of paranormal researchers. Sounds of a child have been picked up on equipment. The legend has also been made into a film called Azzurrina.
