    Votive aedicule with the venerated image of San Michele accompanied by an epigraph bearing a precise chronological indication which fixes its origin to 1616.

      At this point of the route we find an epitaph, a niche which preserves a small statuette of San Michele and on which the faithful leave candles and candles. On the facade there is an inscription dated 1616 and which reads:

      "Devoted passeger who, tired and lasso adoring Michael, hastens the pace, here you leave the pastoral foods, otherwise the elements will be upset, the sky will be disturbed, and in an instant you will win the saint and not a lover".

      According to the text, starting from that point it is no longer possible to continue bringing with you the "paschal foods", that is, meat, as the journey of faith begins.

      The final part of the phrase "non-lover" refers to St. Michael's revenge against those who do not respect the warning in the epigraph.

        Obligatory stop when you go up to Pizzo San Michele (even if you are almost at the top). When the days are clear, the view is very beautiful. Trekking clothing and sturdy footwear are recommended.
