This example, 3m high took its name by a rural farm 'Vicinanze' near it. Also catalogued by Cosime De Giorgi at the end of the nineteenth century, was certainly used as 'Osanna' due to the presence on the top of a crucifix's mark, made consequently at the christian diffusion. The sacralization of the monument is confirmed by the performance of religious rites and by the traditional Palm Sunday procession which ended in front of the menhir.
