There is a legend that tells of a statue of a "Madonna and Child" that was offered to our village in the Middle Ages by a group of Syrian sailors who escaped from a shipwreck on the Mediterranean. Since that time, the “Ancient, Miraculous Virgin” has continued to watch over Vias and its inhabitants throughout the trials and tribulations of its history. On 28 May 2000, having been restored, the statue returned by sea to Farinette beach. To mark the occasion, a large number of Vias’ inhabitants took part in a pilgrimage and mass.

The people of Vias would not miss their carnival for anything! This traditionally takes place in February, and the merry-making goes on all day.
