The summit of the CATARELTO is not crowned by a cross, but rather by a statue of the Virgin Mary. This small sacred monument is entirely in white, as is the base with an interesting point on which she is placed. Perhaps the rosary draped around her neck was part of the design concept from the beginning, but it could also have been placed around her shoulders by a visitor to the mountain later.

Mount Catarelto (770 m altitude) is located in a very panoramic position from where you can enjoy an exceptional 360 degree view towards the Apennines and the villages below. On the top there is a statue of the Virgin Mary. It is accessed from the provincial road 325 from the church in the town of Creda by going up towards the cemetery and then always keeping left and following the signs for Roda. The last stretch is dirt road.
