The sphere is the work of the artist Emanuele Marullo with the collaboration of Silvia Cioni. The work in progress speaks of a taking care of the place and would like to give value to what now appears as rubble. Building on the foundations of a former military outpost is a symbol of rebirth. The sphere, intentionally ephemeral, was conceived with the idea of a graft that respects the environment and the landscape.

The path to reach it is simple and practicable, it does not present particular problems, it is also doable with children. I advise against it only on very hot days because it is very exposed. It is located on the top of the hill and is outside of shaded or wooded areas. So be careful of the heat. But it is worth seeing in its strangeness and solitude!

Simple path that starts from Capanna Mautino, you can follow the old military road, which is not difficult, or, in seasons without snow, you can cut through one of the countless paths visible through the low vegetation, saving a bit of time. Both solutions are simple and do not require special equipment
