The Piloton Monolith

Many even claim it has prehistoric origins, but it is commonly traced back to Roman times. The monolith is located exactly at the intersection of five roads, which lead respectively to Novaglie, San Fidenzio, Mizzole, Montorio and Gazzol.
This block of white stone certainly came here from distant quarries and according to some hypotheses it would mark the solar orientation of the foundation plan of Roman Verona, while according to a secondary hypothesis, it would be a milestone stone that the Romans used to indicate the progressive number of miles.

El Pilotòn, as the white monolith is popularly called, is planted in the ground in line with the plan of Roman Verona; it would indicate, by extending the straight line that crosses the Forum of Verona (Piazza Erbe), starting from the current Via Pellicciai, the exact point where the sun rises on 21 June. Thus the name of Mons Aureus (Montorio), i.e. the "mountain of dawn", a mountain that indicated the direction of the light of the sacred sun, the source of life, would also be confirmed.
The name of Mount Preafitta, the name by which the hill is called, derives from the presence of the monolith, also called Prèa Fita (stone stuck in the ground).

Ancient Monolith that acts as a crossroads to 5 paths to be covered by mountain bike or on foot

The Veronese dialect word “piloton” can be roughly translated into the Italian word “pilone”. It is a betyl located on the ridge of Mount Preafitta, between Valsquaranto and Valpantena. Crossroads of five roads, splendid panoramic point, in recent years it has been stabilized in the ground with a cemented base which also acts as an orientation table, and has been enriched by an explanatory plaque of the monument.
The only certain thing about this large stone is its ancient origin (see also "Cippi and milestones on the Roman consular road Postumia in Verona"). Of Roman or earlier origin, it could perhaps be a Roman milestone, or perhaps according to the hypothesis of Umberto Grancelli (to which Solinas followed a lot) it could represent in the layout of Roman Verona an alignment between Cardo and Decumanus (reversed by Grancelli with respect to to archaeological officialdom) with the rising of the sun on the day of the summer solstice. From this last hypothesis, in recent years folkloristic initiatives bordering on New Age have arisen at unlikely hours of the morning, naturally on June 24th.
