ブロックハウスへ続く坂道にあるロッカモリーチェに位置するエディ・メルクス記念碑の歴史は、ベルギーのチャンピオンとマイエラ山塊を切り離せないものとして結びつけ、スポーツの栄光と人間の寛大さの両方を称える物語です。そのルーツは、サイクリングにおける山の歴史を変えた日、つまり1970年のジロ・デ・イタリアのステージ、ロサがブロックハウスの頂上に挑んだ初めての時に遡ります。その際、若きメルクス – すぐに「カンニバル」として知られるようになった – は、すべてのライバルを置き去りにし、伝説となった勝利を収めるという、時代を超えた偉業を成し遂げました。しかし、勝利の後にコミュニティの愛情を確固たるものにしたのは、その行為でした。勝利の直後、メルクスは賞金を慈善団体に寄付したと言われています。このスポーツ的かつ道徳的な二重の遺産を称え、ジロ・デ・イタリア100周年を視野に入れ、ロッカモリーチェ市は記念碑の設立を推進しました。この作品は地元の職人Fraによって制作されました

The Cathedral of Saints Valentine and Damian (real name) in San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore (PE) is not only the spiritual center of the village, but also a tangible testimony to its millennia-old history. Its roots date back to around the year 1000, when the village, initially known as Castrum Petrae, became the burial place (and subsequent transfer of the bodies) of the Holy Martyrs Valentine and Damian, elevating the site to a pilgrimage destination and decreeing its name change. The current building is the result of a long process of destruction and rebirth, typical of Abruzzo towns. The most crucial moment was the great Maiella earthquake of 1706, which devastated much of the area and necessitated almost complete reconstruction. It was following this earthquake that the church took on its most distinctive character. The interior, in fact, is a magnificent example of sumptuous 18th-century Baroque, the result of restoration work carried out between 1777 and 1791. Here, the wide single nave unfolds beneath a richly decorated barrel vault, punctuated by pilasters with Corinthian capitals, creating an atmosphere of great elegance and sumptuousness. In stark contrast to this interior grace, the exterior boasts a powerful salient façade flanked by twin bell towers. This end block was added only more recently (between 1920 and 1931), designed by architect Antonio Liberi, giving the cathedral the monumental appearance we know today. Guardian of the remains of the patron saints and a symbol of the village's resilience after natural disasters, the cathedral perfectly embodies the faith and history of San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore.

Moving away from Salle, on the right, a few meters from the trail entrance, you will find a spectacular panoramic point of the bridge and the Orte gorges.
