Little one, ask, to get there the path is quite challenging, I recommend good boots with good grip

The climb from the monastery takes just under three-quarters of an hour. I recommend walking clockwise.

Here you will find a particularly impressive section of the false wall of La Penna.

Curiosity: In the area of that beautiful lawn and the picnic area, next to a large tree there is a memorial stone in memory of exactly what happened on Sunday 18 July 1976. That day many people gathered on the Alpe di Catenaia, to celebrate the anniversary of the liberation from Nazi-fascism, which began in our province in early July 1944. Arezzo was liberated on 16 July 1944. This area of the Alpe di Catenaia is located in the municipality of Subbiano and as in other mountains, here too there were numerous clashes between Nazi-fascists and partisans during the resistance period (1943-1945). The "Gothic Line" also passed through this mountain, since from here you could see the slopes of Arezzo and the Tiber Valley. But on that 18th July 1976, what was supposed to be a day of celebration in the afternoon became a dramatic day: a strong storm hit the area, lightning struck a group of people who had taken shelter under the trees; nine people were killed!

The name of this place is linked to the local tradition of using caves for food preservation. The rocks and the shade of the forest help to isolate the cavities from the outside, maintaining a constant low temperature. It was also common to fill the caves with snow during the winter to increase their cooling power during the warmer months. Even today it is possible to appreciate the difference in temperature between the outside and the inside, especially during the summer.

Located at 1,254 meters above sea level, the top of Mount Calvano is characterized by an immense meadow between Casentino and Valtiberina. It is not far from the Verna sanctuary and it is not uncommon for you to come across grazing animals.

Monte Calvano (1254 m above sea level) is a mountain in the Apennines in Italy. There is a path that leads to the summit. Monte Calvano is one of the 307 peaks along the multi-day European long-distance hiking trail E1.

The exact translation of the rock cave is: “The Ice Box” and that’s exactly how it feels when you get closer. In the past, people used such caves to store food.
