ボルゴバルディタロの洞窟・トップ7

ステラ像（Statue Stele）は、大きさは様々ですが、一般的に高さ2～3メートルの直立した人型の石像です。 これらの神秘的な芸術作品は、ルニジャーナに住んでいた古代の人々の文化と精神性を物語っています。その正確な機能は、研究者の間で依然として議論の的となっています。ステラ像が古代の神々や地元の神々を表していたと仮定する人もいれば、埋葬のシンボルや記念碑であった可能性を示唆する人もいます。彫刻された人物は、しばしば同心円、コッペラ（くぼみ）、線状の刻み目などの謎めいた抽象的なシンボルを特徴としており、これらは宗教的、天文的、または儀式的な意味を持つ可能性があります。これらのシンボルの理解は、考古学者や専門家による研究と調査の対象となっています。

The Piagnaro Castle is a fortress built in a strategic point to protect the Apennine passes and around which the first medieval nucleus was formed, built around the year 1000. For centuries it has been an integral part of the city's defensive system. In its thousand-year history it has undergone numerous destructions and subsequent reconstructions that have brought it to its current appearance. The Castle maintained its military function until the end of the 18th century. Its name derives from the so-called piagne, the gray sandstone slabs used in Lunigiana to cover the roofs of buildings, including that of the castle.

The hike up to the castle is worth it. Great views!
