Diamantina Witch and M. of Beer

Witch

Monte Sacco is a notable peak near Tredozio in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It is a popular destination for hiking and outdoor activities. The trail to Monte Sacco offers beautiful views and a mix of challenging and accessible routes. One of the highlights is reaching the summit, where you will find a large stone cross.

Beautiful !

Beautiful challenging but short climb, the San Colombano side is certainly much more challenging than the other.

On the top of Monte Sacco there is this cross. The small clearing is about 10 minutes on foot from the parking of the Monte Busca pass.

Diamantina and the Monte della Birra Diamantina lived in Forlì in the 17th century and was a “healer” by profession. For her potions she used herbs and other mysterious substances, which she reduced to pills, plasters and other concoctions. It was the time of the witch hunt and Diamantina perhaps displeased some people, because she was accused of witchcraft and put on trial. Since she was old she avoided being burned at the stake, but was chased out of the city, with orders never to return. Diamantina then went to live on the hill overlooking Castrocaro, at that time covered with beech and chestnut trees. With the help of someone she managed to build a hut, where she continued to prepare her “devilries”. The people of Castrocaro got used to that solitary old woman, who rarely came down to the village, and since she didn’t bother them at all they always left her in peace. But believing that she was having sex with the Devil, who in the local dialect was called “bèrr”, they gave her the name of “bèrra”, that is, the Devil’s wife. And the mountain where she lived was called “e’ mònt d’la bérra”, the mountain of beer.
