ラ・ピエトラ・パルチェッラーラ（La Pietra Parcellara）は、ヴァル・トレッビア（Val Trebbia）（PC）に位置する、約1億5000万年前の海洋起源の壮大な蛇紋岩（マグマ岩）の露頭です。リグーリア海の海底でマグマが固まって形成され、アフリカプレートとユーラシアプレートの衝突によって出現し、差別浸食に耐えました。

Pietra Parcellara is a mountain in the Ligurian Apennines located in the Trebbia Valley, on the border between the municipalities of Bobbio, which owns the southwestern slope, and Travo, which owns the northeastern slope, in the province of Piacenza. It can be reached in several ways: from Bobbiano, from the Caldarola Pass, or by turning behind Pietra Marcia via Donceto Cà dei Re and Brodo (road bike). There is also a dirt road climb for mountain bikes that climbs and passes beneath Pietra Perduca.

Pietra Parcellara, one of the mountains best known to the people of Piacenza, is also called the "Matterhorn of Valtrebbia" because with its sharp tip it recalls the much better known and highest mountain symbol of the Alps. Solitary, as no mountain comes alongside it from Travo up to the slopes of Monte San Lazzaro, the Pietra Parcellara presents itself with a thousand different faces and aspects, each time surprising: from Travo it is round like a helmet, from Perino it is pointed and sharp like a hard and black cone, from Cassolo it is flat and wide.

According to tradition, the oratory dates back to the year 1000 and houses the imprint of the Madonna's foot. The building, of extreme simplicity, has a gable roof; Inside there are traces of ancient frescoes.
