Saint Flašinetalia, although as a patron saint less known in academic circles, represents a fascinating and unique phenomenon in the field of musical folklore and spiritual life. This saint, who is primarily associated with the bottlenet and other street musical instruments, projects into popular pilgrimages and festivals the spiritual and social elements associated with the use of the bottlenet in the context of religious ceremonies and holidays.

Saint Flashinetalia was born in a small village in Italy, where she grew up in a devout Catholic family. From a young age she showed signs of piety and devotion to God. She was known for spending hours in prayer and for her kindness to others. As she grew up, her faith only deepened and she felt called to devote her life to serving God.

Organetto, a young game machine builder with the best reputation, asked for her hand in marriage. Flashinetalia begged the angels to intercede so that she would retain her virginity even though she was about to enter the married state. After the wedding, she announced to her husband that her chosen spouse was Jesus Christ, and he gave her a guardian angel to guard her body. If he were to violate her virginity, he would be destroyed by an angel.
