The Dolasilla legend
Dolasilla was the beautiful daughter of the King of Fanes, infamously greedy and power-hungry and always hunting for more gold and silver, metals which were extracted by dwarfs in the mines around Canazei.
When the king robbed the dwarfs of their fortune, Dolasilla, out of compassion and fear of their revenge, gave their stolen treasure back to them. In a sign of gratitude, they in turn gave her a shiny white fur and foretold that she would become an invincible warrior and transformed her fur into an armor. They went on to warn her that if the armor changed color, she must stay away from the battlefield, or else she would die. In the end, they gave her one more present: a silver powder that if thrown into the “silver lake” would let the king seize possession of a marvelous treasure.
