The widower and the wedding dress

Once a young widower had delayed finishing a job in the countryside but, despite the setting sun, he wanted to bring some flowers to his recently deceased wife. In sight of the entrance to the cemetery of Colle Fruscione, he noticed that there was a kind of sheet tied to the gate. However, as it was almost dark, due to exhaustion he could not quite distinguish what it was, so he continued to climb up the road, which at the time was quite a steep slope. When he arrived in front of the cemetery, his eyes widened: there was a wedding dress on the gate! Frightened by the discovery, he ran home.
