Antonio Cacciabue said "the septet of Tunen terms" emblematic character, born in Incisa Belbo (Incisa Scapaccino today) on 8 August 1850 and died there June 29, 1929, was a point during his life important reference for the entire population Belbo Valley, but also for the surrounding area. He was a farmer, a man of the people that reserved part of the day to receive the needy who sought his "empirical medicine". The night was dedicated to prayer. He, in fact, retreated into the thicket behind the house and there, in contemplation, praying our Lord (saying that God was the engine of everything, explained it with other words in dialect, but the meaning was that), and praying to the Virgin Virgo Potens of which he was particularly devoted, and other saints like Saint Anthony, San Biagio, etc.. From his intense Christian faith Tunen received "special energy", which originated from the very uncommon faculty that enabled him to help and often heal people. For valleys and hills it is said that even as a child was to carry miracles of this kind, undertaken for a long time, that is, until his death which occurred in seventy-nine. For sure we know that it was not a healer who "imbued" with sneaky tricks only people capable of developing simple reason because at the time, in our countryside was still widespread illiteracy. Although
been nearly eighty years after his death, the people have not forgotten him, in fact, everyone of those lands has continued to go from Tunen, no longer his home, or working in his fields where he received them, but in the chapel at the cemetery in Borgo Villa Incisa Scapaccino. Here in front of his tombstone, always adorned with flowers and votive candles, people kneels and speaks to their problems, sometimes they write some letters and then slips into the cracks of marble stone, after these confidences, each retrace his steps toward home, back with a light heart because we know that Tunen help give it. It is strange that there is a certainty every time you stop in front of his tomb, at the moment comes to mind with the insistence that "it should be 'ca'," a sweet lullaby that seems to come from far away and follow us, follow us because now is within us ... Tunen regular expression with which, during his lifetime, his leave of applicants, 'go' ca '"meant" I'll go quiet now. "But when he knew he could not do anything for the victim, apologized and warned that his "strength" was not enough. The septet
Incisa represented for this land Monferrato, remote corner of the world, a cultural phenomenon, not just sometimes inexplicable for a careful anthropologist. It was certainly a symbol, an example of good Christian in the name of God, the Virgin most powerful and some saints, he dispensed all his life to help his neighbor, he did so with humility, in exchange for nothing, but when persistently left him a donation, he went to deposit it in the outstretched hand of a beggar, or mail in the mailbox for alms on the portal of the church in Borgo Virgo Potens Empire. Antonio said
Cacciabue Tunen, a farmer who wore heavy clothing in summer and light in winter, walking barefoot in the ditches trampling on thistles and nettles, which put pebbles in his shoes so that his life was characterized by suffering in imitation of Christ, he found solace in prayer and the sacraments because its path was traced from the essence of substantive Theological Virtues, which indicated the daily goal. Target identified in a life beyond life that already savoring every night when in ecstasy in the bush behind the house, talking with God
