Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Lombardia
Piazzalunga, a small hamlet in Sondrio Province, is mostly known because the last woman to be accused of witchcraft in this Province used to live there.
My sister sent me a couple of pictures of the local well, which isn't on the tourist trail nor it's known as "sacred", according to the local people.
A carved stone at it's threshold might suggest otherwise!
