Some depictions of the cross lack a body, while others feature the figure of Christ crucified. But the most famous crucifix on the Italian peninsula takes us from Sicily to the north of the country. It was there, in the "Bassa," that the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968) set his popular short stories about the protagonists "Don Camillo" and "Peppone." But besides these two, there is another main character: Jesus Christ himself speaks from the high altar to the priest Don Camillo—who was brilliantly portrayed by the actor Fernandel (Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin, 1903 to 1971) in several feature films.

The crucifix, originally made solely for the film adaptations, has been preserved and has become a popular tourist attraction in Brescello (Emilia-Romagna). It can be visited virtually as a komoot highlight at the following link =>> komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6457013
