The legend of the giant Ban Dragonija

In ancient times, when Istria was also inhabited by giant beings, the north of the peninsula was an area covered by huge lakes and swamps. In the south, however, there were no streams or springs and the population asked the giant Ban Dragonja to help wet the earth. Dragonja yoked huge oxen to the plow and created a furrow from a northern lake towards the sea. At the first furrow that allowed the water to reach the sea, he gave his name, Dragonja. The following day he plowed the second furrow, giving birth to another river to which he gave the name of his wife, Mirna. While he was plowing the third furrow, which arrived under the walls of the Castle of Pazin,  the wife of the captain of Pazin  began to critic him, telling him that the furrow was shallow and all wrong. Ban Dragonja was deeply offended, stopped tthe work. In the furrow the water began to flow which slowly flooded the valley of Pazin. The inhabitants began to help Dragonja in his work, praying him in tears to save them from ruin. Ban Dragonja took pity on them and tapped one foot on the ground, right under the cliff on which the Castle stood. With an impressive roar the earth began to open, the strong blow created a chasm that swallowed all the water. This is why instead of a third river arose the serpentine stream today called Pazinčica, whose waters are still lost in the deep Cave of Pazin.

The famous science fiction pioneer Jules Verne, after writing his adventurous novels such as "Around the world in 80 days" and "20,000 leagues under the seas", also found inspiration in this small place in Istria. Here in fact, precisely in Pazin's castle and foiba, the illustrious writer set "Mathias Sandorf" (1885), one of the novels of the successful series Voyages Extraordinaires

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Beautiful story, I believe it is a folklore from that place, the giant of Ban Dragonja, is the key piece for your inspiration, I believe, here in this musical piece, that I keep imagining, watching the castle, how natural it was for giants to walk in those surroundings, congratulations! Very creative!
