The most famous crucifix in Italy is not found in the fields, along the paths and roads or on the tops of the mountains, but in literature: The author Giovanni Guareschi, spiritual father of the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone', has included another main character in his stories - which are well-known and popular far beyond the country's borders: the crucified Christ, who speaks to Don Camillo from the high altar. The author himself makes the following comment:
"So you have to explain: if the priests feel insulted by Don Camillo, they can smash a candlestick on my skull for all I care; if the communists are insulted by Peppone, they can break a club on my back; but if someone feels insulted by Christ's speeches, there's nothing you can do. Whoever speaks in my stories ... is my Christ, that is, the voice of my conscience. My personal business, my affair. And therefore: each for himself and God for all.” (G. Guareschi)

This metal wayside cross dates back to a time when there was no GPS and everyone travelled on foot or in carriages. They were important for orientation and were therefore often erected on the main traffic routes.
