The name of the place recalls the figure of the helmsman of Aeneas, Palinuro, who fell in love with a beautiful girl named Kamaratòn (hence Camerota), chasing her image to the bottom of the cliffs of the Cape, who since then took the his name: Capo Palinuro. Palinuro is a character from Roman mythology, the mythical helmsman of Aeneas, who fell into the sea at night, betrayed by the god Sleep, while leading the fleet to Italy.Before arriving at the coasts of Lazio, Aeneas had passed in front of today's head Palinuro and there, one night, his helmsman Palinuro, fell into the sea by divine will: Neptune, in exchange for the promise to protect Aeneas, made to his mother Venus , one victim had asked. For this Palinuro died, despite the fact that he managed to swim to the shore.Mistaken for a sea monster by the locals, he was killed by them and his corpse was abandoned to the waters. For this reason, the waters of Palinuro have a divine charm, there are those who think they see the spirit of Palinuro wandering, and those who still hear the desperate cries of a mythological character who has never ceased to exist in myth and legends.
