MARCO

February 26, 2023

Pietra Nera, a beautiful rocky outcrop of ophiolitic origin (Mesozoic era, Jurassic period, about 155 million years ago), is located on the right bank of the Stirone stream and at the foot of the Borgo di Vigoleno. This area was previously dedicated to the extraction of serpentinite (ophiolite from the Greek "ophis" -> snake), composed of silicates of magnesium and iron and small quantities of magnetite whose crystalline structure leads these minerals to overlap in thin flakes which give the rock a "scaly" shape similar to the skin of reptiles) and the small lake, located at the foot of the rock, is due precisely to these quarrying activities.
