The small sacred monument we encounter on Monte Gottero is perhaps the perfect place for a brief moment of reflection. A few years ago, Christiane Völkel commented on the wonderfully fitting sentence by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (who lived in the 14th century), "Everywhere one has heaven above oneself," as follows: "What is the use of prayer? This question moves me (...) I have found for myself the answer and the certainty that when I pray I am with the Lord, or rather, that when I pray he is often noticeably closer to me than usual. Thus, I retain the possibility of pouring out my heart to him (...) This intimacy with him makes me believe in him."

Monte Gottero rises up to 1639 m above sea level and is part of the eastern Ligurian Apennines.

I arrived at Passo Cento Croci from Passo della Cappelletta (coming from Borgo Val Di Taro), on a paved road, but cyclist-proof (zero cars encountered), which winds at high altitude between pastures and conifers, with an enchanting scenery

Once you get to Cento Croci it would be a shame not to get to the Cappelletta and admire the splendid bucolic landscapes that can be admired even in autumn. Wind turbines are awful but majestic.
