Οι 20 κορυφαίες κορυφές στην Πιατσέντσα

The small sacred monument we encounter on Monte Carmo is perhaps the perfect place for a brief moment of reflection. A few years ago, Christiane Völkel commented on the wonderfully fitting sentence by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (who lived in the 14th century), "Everywhere one has heaven above oneself," as follows: "What is the use of prayer? This question moves me (...) I have found for myself the answer and the certainty that when I pray I am with the Lord, or rather, that when I pray he is often noticeably closer to me than usual. Thus, I retain the possibility of pouring out my heart to him (...) This intimacy with him makes me believe in him."

Mount Crociglia and Mount Carevolo are two of the most panoramic peaks in the entire Piacenza Apennines. Their peaks share common characteristics: first, their shape—large, grass-covered domes—and second, the lack of significant elevations in the immediate vicinity, making them exposed to the wind but also offering exceptionally beautiful viewpoints. The summit of the mountain (1,578 meters), highlighted by the large statue of the Archangel Raphael, erected in memory of those who fell in the mountains: 😓😓 Luigi Mazzocchi 1975 Giulio Fox 1977 Paolo Fox 1977 Pino De Lorenzi 1979 Giovanni Razzini 1981 Giovanni Tosi 1981 Mauro Fariselli 1990 Mario Sanpaolo 1990 Renata Scaramuzza 2002 Emanuele Patti 2017 Luca Bernini 2024 From here you can enjoy a 360° view of the Nure Valley.

Excellent view of the Piacenza valleys

The peaks of Menegosa are 4 and not 2. 2 in the municipality of Morfasso, in order of height the second and the fourth. And 2 in the municipality of Farini, the first, the highest, and the fourth, the southern peak from which you can get there from Teruzzi or Longhi passing the Passo Menegosa. At least inform yourself before writing nonsense…

Great view between upper Nure valley and middle D'aveto valley

Menegosa is made up of 4 peaks overall, not 2. The southern peak, the one you pass coming from Teruzzi is the first. The last one is behind the highest one. 2 peaks are in the municipality of Morfasso and 2 in that of Farini. So before you write nonsense, inform yourself…🤣

The most famous crucifix in Italy is not found on the tops of the mountains, although of course there are many summit crosses all over the country, such as here on Monte CARMO, but in literature: The author Giovanni Guareschi, spiritual father of the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone', has included another main character in his stories - which are well-known and popular far beyond the country's borders: the crucified Christ, who speaks to Don Camillo from the high altar. The author himself makes the following comment on this: "So you have to explain: if the priests feel insulted by Don Camillo, they can smash a candlestick on my skull for all I care; if the communists are insulted by Peppone, they can break a club in two on my back; but if someone feels insulted by Christ's speeches, there's nothing you can do. Whoever speaks in my stories... is my Christ, that is, the voice of my conscience. My personal business, my affair. And therefore: each for himself and God for all.” (G. Guareschi)
