A seemingly gigantic summit cross crowns the Pratomagno. But despite its enormous mass, the cross does not appear overwhelming; in fact, due to the steel truss construction (the most famous example of which is the Eiffel Tower in Paris), it appears almost delicate.
The inauguration took place in 1928; the idea for its construction had come up two years earlier as part of the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi. In the almost 100 years of its existence, the cross has required repairs/maintenance several times, and so it is to be hoped that it will continue to crown the summit and serve as a widely visible sign of blessing for the country and its people.

View of the two Valdarnese and Casentinese fronts. Absence of light pollution, excellent for astrophotography.
