コルノアッレスケールのおすすめライド

町も訪れる時間がもっとあれば素晴らしい眺め

コルノ・アッレ・スカーレは、標高1945メートルに達するボローニャ・アペニン山脈で最も高い頂上です。リッツァーノ・イン・ベルベデーレの自治体内に完全に位置し、エミリア＝ロマーニャ州とトスカーナ州の境界にあり、北壁の階段状の独特な形状からその名前が付けられました。この地域は、重要な冬のスキーリゾート、有名な夏のハイキングの目的地、そしてロードサイクリングの象徴として知られています。最近では、2026年ジロ・デ・イタリアの第9ステージの山頂フィニッシュ地点となり（優勝はヨナス・ヴィンゲゴー）、その舞台となりました。

ジロ・デ・イタリア2026。ゴールまで3km

In summer, the town is crossed by regional road 66, which, after 3 km in La Lima, intersects with the SS.12 towards Abetone, where many people head on weekends in search of cool air and the many marked trails on the ridge.

Madonna dell’Acero, a charming place surrounded by immense forests of beech and fir trees, located at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level. The name of the place derives from an old print with the image of the Blessed Virgin dressed in Greek style, affixed to the trunk of a tree located in a clearing in the 14th century. Legend has it that two deaf-mute children, while they were busy guarding their flock at pasture, were caught in a storm and found refuge under an enormous maple tree. During the raging bad weather, the Madonna appeared and made them regain their hearing and speech. At home they reported that the Virgin wanted to be venerated in that place. The parish priest of Rocca Corneta, informed of the apparition, thought of transporting the image to the parish and celebrating the event in the presence of the Bishop. But on the day scheduled for the celebrations the sacred image had disappeared. The Madonna, the locals say, had returned to the Maple, leaving signs of herself on all the tree trunks along the road. It is also said that the marked trees could not be cut down: a man, who wanted to try to cut down one, located in his chestnut grove, was crushed under the branches of the tree. A small chapel thus arose around the Maple that enclosed the tree stripped of all its branches. The current suggestive sanctuary, built in a very simple style, like a group of small houses next to each other, dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries.
