small church in Abruzzo at 1400m

When walking around the Rocca Calascio you pass this little church, which is uniquely situated in the barren landscape of Abruzzo.

Octagonal church Santa Maria della Pietà Church with extraordinary views over the entire valley. Legend has it that in this place the local population managed to defeat a band of bandits who had been tormenting the nearby village for some time, for this reason a celebratory site was built in honor of the Madonna, to thank her for this victory.

Chapel of the Madonna della Pietà: dating back to 1451 with an octagonal plan, it stands near the Rocca s on a small overhanging plateau.

Path along the side of Monte delle Croci. You can see the beautiful village of Santo Stefano di Sassanio in the distance and the summit of Monte delle Croci. Very pleasant trail for running !

A depiction of the Mother of God called a "pieta" with Mary holding her dead son on her lap. Probably the world-famous representation of a "Pieta" is in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and was created by the young Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564).

Magnificent place despite the weather and 18km of descent, by bike, in the rain ☔
