Fairs
[edit]Carrù is home to the "Sagra dell'uva" (the fair of the grape), which takes place in the end of September with dances and spectacles, and to "La fiera del bue grasso" (the fair of the fat ox).
Legend
[edit]There is a historic legend called "La dama blu" (the blue lady). The wife of the count of Carrù used to go hunting. One day she was out hunting wearing a blue dress and was killed by an arrow. It's said that every last Friday in the month this lady walks into her castle and haunts it, to find her murderer. The castle was open some days a year for trips, although it is now a bank.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
