    Great spot from which to observe Castellarano and take pictures on the large bench! It is possible to reach it "from above" from via Rontano near the Agriturismo San Valentino or "from below" from via Barcaroli. Uphill the route is, in the last dirt road, quite challenging due to the steep slopes.

      panoramic point over the valley of the Secchia, Castellarano and the ridge of the Apennines towards the Cimone. Not recommended to go when it is wet ... clay soil

        The Giant Benches are a phenomenon that caught on in Italy in 2010 thanks to the American designer Chris Bangle.

        There are almost 200 Giant Benches that can be found around Italy. It all started in 2010 with the first bench installed by Chris Bangle in Clavesana, Piedmont. In a short time, the bench became a tourist attraction, and this is how Chris Bangle and his wife Catherine wife decided to start the Big Bench Community Project.
