THE LEGEND OF FOAM

THE LEGEND OF FOAM

Taranto

Secca delle sirene - Lungomare Vittorio Emanuele III

The sirens sitting on the rocks on the sea promenade remind of an ancient legend, which sees a couple and the fantastical creatures living in the sea on the coast. Foam was a very beautiful girl married with a sailor. During one of the long periods of time when her husband was far away, she was seduced by a rich city gentleman. When the husband returned, she confessed her betrayal. As if blinded by jealousy, he put her onto a boat and made her fall into the sea. The sirens saved Foam bringing her to their castle at the bottom of the sea. Some time later, the husband fell in the water after being trapped by siren-song. Foam saw him and rescued him by putting him onto a fisherman’s boat. At that point, the husband decided to free his wife and fought to pick the white coral flower which brought her back into his arms.
