ヴィトルキアーノのおすすめツーリングルート

チヴィタ・ディ・バニョレージョには自転車で入ることはできません。しかし、この村は徒歩でのツアーの価値があります

nice crossing point, be careful of the pave coming down from the village and the possible traffic at certain times

beautiful road between Sant'Eutizio and Bassano in Teverina with possible detours for Bosco di Vasanello

On the road to Grotte Santo Stefano there is a sacred Moai statue that originates from Easter Islands. The statue is about 10 m high and was made in the early 1990s. For this purpose, 11 members of the Maori Atan family came over from Easter Islands. They were followed for 4 weeks in a television programme on the RAI. The statue is the only one in the world that is located outside Easter Islands. The statue was made from a single piece of peperino stone. From this panoramic point you have a beautiful view of the old town of Vitorchiano, which is built entirely on a rock. In addition, your wish can come true if you touch the navel of the Moai with your hands…

this view is great

"The statue was created in 1990 by eleven members of the Atan family, originally from Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The project was born during the RAI television program “Alla ricerca dell’arca” by journalist Mino d’Amato, with the aim of promoting the restoration of the Moai on Easter Island. Vitorchiano was chosen as the ideal location for the construction thanks to the presence of peperino, a volcanic stone similar to that used for the original Moai. The Atan craftsmen used the same traditional techniques, working with axes and stones to sculpt the monument.".

It is not the only example: a wooden Moai, carved by the inhabitants of Easter Island and donated to a citizen of Livorno, their "white Rapa Nui brother", is located in Livorno at the Rotonda di Ardenza. At least one other Moai is located in Germany.
