An ancient meeting point for the people of the Rezzo, Impero, and Argentina valleys. From the pass, you can enjoy an incredible view; I recommend using an app to identify the peaks to orient yourself (e.g., PeakFinder, free).

This wide, grassy saddle between Mount Arborea and Cima della Donzella is almost certainly the one mentioned several times by Italo Calvino in his novel "The Path to the Spiders' Nest."

Summit point of the Bosco di Rezzo, famous meeting point for the people of the Argentina, Impero, Rezzo and Monesi valleys, for the annual livestock market. Since prehistoric times. Marked by some megalithic works in the area. It was a point of exchange of livestock and goods. Viaticum for the sea via the roads that reach Passo Teglie or towards the mountain via Passo Pianlatte and then Garezzo and the Monesi valleys
