ルーゴ・ディ・ヴィチェンツァ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

マラスティカの中心部に位置するピアッツァ・デッリ・スカッキ（チェスの広場）は、ヴェネト地方で最も印象的な景観の一つです。ピアッツァ・カステッロ（城の広場）としても知られ、その名声は、壮大な城壁とカステッロ・インフェリオーレに囲まれた、床に埋め込まれた白とピンクの大理石の巨大なチェス盤に由来します。この広場は、2年に一度、9月に、有名な人間チェス大会の舞台となります。これは、広場を野外劇場に変える、衣装をまとった歴史的な再現劇です。伝説によれば、1454年に高貴なリオーノラの結婚をめぐる騎士道的な決闘が、血なまぐさい決闘の代わりに知恵比べに置き換えられたとされています。この広場は、民俗的なものだけでなく、市民生活の中心でもあり、カステッロ・スペリオーレまで続く城壁の壮大な眺めが支配しています。

“Death is not the end, but only a very specific end: namely, the end of a first, provisional period of life and the beginning of a new, unending epoch. Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world.’ So there is another world. Not only his disciples believed in this other world, but also his opponents. The lawyer, for example, asked him what he must do ‘to inherit eternal life.’ (…) Precisely because it lasts forever, this life is so precious that everything else in the present world pales in comparison.” (Text by Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)

From Monte Corno, you have a beautiful view of the entire plain, all the way to the Apennines, Venice, and the Adriatic Sea on clear days! In reality, the summit of Monte Corno, its highest point (1,383 m), is located just to the north, within the rock labyrinth; but here, the monument enjoys a panoramic position and is also visible from the plain. The monument, 26 meters high and composed of four intertwined concrete sails, was erected in 1970 in memory of the partisan fighting and roundups that took place in these areas during World War II.

Very impressive! Good opportunity for refreshment

In the locality of Barenthal there is a British cemetery (there are 5 in the whole Plateau) which contains 126 fallen soldiers identified by the Commonwealth belonging to the troops of the XIV Corps of the British Expeditionary Force.

One of the four English cemeteries of the Great War

In memory of the fallen, I personally don't find it beautiful

Near the top of Monte Corno, there is this monument erected in 1970 in memory of those killed during the Second World War. The monument is visible from the plain thanks to its four concrete sails that intertwine and soar high into the sky. As you get closer, along the dirt path, sometimes covered by vegetation, you can also read the commemorative stone writing.
