Riccio Nasone
Meet the mascot of the Baia di Gallipoli Camping Resort
Many years ago, when the Baia di Gallipoli campsite was still under construction, many animals lived in the pine forest, including these funny mammals covered in quills... hedgehogs.
One day, one of those friendly little men in blue shirts who are constantly seen around the campsite found a small, solitary, frightened hedgehog near a large, magical, centuries-old tree.
The little blue man soon realised that this was no ordinary hedgehog, because he had a big red nose that no other hedgehog had!

"I came here because I am so lonely and I would like to meet new friends," said the hedgehog to the little blue man. "But I got lost on the way, I fell on the ground and my nose turned big and red," continued the hedgehog.
And, so, the two started talking and the hedgehog told him that he had come all the way to the Gallipoli Bay because he hoped to find someone to spend time with, someone to play with, since he felt so lonely and now even more dejected because of his red nose...

Thus, the little blue man invited him to follow him to a magical place just behind the ancient tree where they had met.
"This will become your home," said the little blue man to the hedgehog. "For five days, every morning, close your eyes and look at the enchanted leaves of this tree, make a wish and everything you want will come true."
So the hedgehog followed the little blue man's advice, closed his eyes for five days with his gaze fixed on the tree and on the sixth day, magic happened! The hedgehog found himself in a super nice campsite where all the children gather nowadays to play and have fun together, and right inside there is a magical MINI CLUB!

As a result, the hedgehog began to meet new friends who decided to call him Riccio Nasone because of his big nose!
From that moment on Riccio Nasone no longer felt sad and disconsolate and decided never to leave that magical place.
At Camping Baia di Gallipoli, he is still awaiting new friends every day to have fun, dance and play with!
