Hiking
Just before reaching the main summit, you can turn right and also stop near the stele in memory of the fallen of the First World War

Hiking
As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments or war memorials - like this "Monumento ai caduti" in _ - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
