A pretty little village with its characteristic castle, a convenient stopover for those taking the Appennino Bike Tour.

The most famous crucifix in Italy is not found on the tops of the mountains, although there are many summit crosses across the country - like here on Monte Ragola - but in literature: The author Giovanni Guareschi, spiritual father of the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone', has included another main character in his stories - which are well-known and popular far beyond the country's borders: the crucified Christ, who speaks to Don Camillo from the high altar. The author himself makes the following comment: "So you have to explain: if the priests feel insulted by Don Camillo, they can smash a candlestick on my skull for all I care; if the communists are insulted by Peppone, they can break a club on my back; but if someone feels insulted by Christ's speeches, there's nothing you can do. Whoever speaks in my stories ... is my Christ, that is, the voice of my conscience. My personal business, my affair. And therefore: each for himself and God for all.” (G. Guareschi)

Very tiring climb, be careful with children

Lake of glacial origin is located in the Ligurian Apennines in the province of Piacenza. In reality formed by two bodies of water placed at the same altitude a very short distance from each other: The term "Bino" in fact should derive from the Latin "binus", meaning double, since this lake is divided into two bodies of water. Lake Bino Maggiore and Lake Bino Minore. In the warm season it is covered with yellow water lilies.

Mount Ragola, m. 1,712 a.s.l., is an imposing and massive mountain, which rises on the watershed between Nure and Ceno just north-east of the Zovallo Pass. The summit area consists of a wide and almost flat ridge, scattered with blocks of rock, among which there are some isolated specimens of mountain pine.

The group of Gora, m. 1,307 a.s.l., consists of Ophiolitic rocks, i.e. the set of magmatic and metamorphic rocks, rich in iron and magnesium. Their name comes from the fact that their colour: green, red, blue and black, resembles the livery of snake skin (Ophios in Greek means snake). The origin of these rocks is linked to the solidification of magmas from the earth's mantle and from strips of deep oceanic crust.
