マジョーネの天然記念物・トップ9

Referring to a quote from the immensely popular Holy Father, Pope John XXIII (Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli), "Every day is a good day to be born, and a good day to die," Christiane Völkel offered a brief reflection that I would like to share with those who view this small sacred monument: "This thought makes it clear that we Christians can have a different perspective on life than those who lack this dimension of hope for the fulfillment of life. Those who succeed in placing their mortality trustingly in God's hands can escape the fear of death."

An evocative place, both for the piles of stacked stones that create a Zen and meditative context, and above all for the surprising panorama towards Umbertide and the valley below.

Here there is one of the castles that characterize some peaks in the region. Of protohistoric age, they are a rare testimony of the pre-Etruscan Umbrian civilization. They were masonry fortifications made of stones obtained on site, usually located on peaks with a strategic view.

Lacugnano Park: green space equipped for sports and free time, with walking paths towards the summit cross and traditional games such as tumbling. Communal swimming pool included. https://turismo.comune.perugia.it/poi/parco-di-lacugnano

This high summit cross has crowned Monte Acuto like a steel colossus for around 100 years. The fact that the construction appears very filigree despite the enormous dimensions is due to the open steel construction, which in turn takes up the basic principle of the half-timbered construction with horizontal and vertical beams and cross braces - which has been tried and tested for centuries. The builders of the cross dedicated it to the victims of the First World War, and so it towers over the heights as a warning to peace that can be seen from afar.

Stunning view from the top of Monte Acuto. You can also see the Trasimeno.

Panorama Umbro really recommended!

Always worth a climb to Tezio.
