カステルディカシオ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Perhaps the most famous crucifix in Italy is not found on the heights of the mountains, although of course there are many summit crosses throughout the country – like the CROCE DI GEPPE here – but in literature: The author Giovanni Guareschi, creator of the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone', included another main character in his stories – which are well-known and popular far beyond the borders of the country: The crucified Christ, who speaks to Don Camillo from the high altar. The author himself offers the following comment: “So, one has to explain: If the priests feel offended by Don Camillo, they can smash a candlestick over my head for all I care; if the communists are offended by Peppone, they can split a club in two over my back; but if someone feels offended by the words of Christ, nothing can be done. Whoever speaks in my stories… is my Christ, that is, the voice of my conscience. My personal matter, my own affair. And therefore: each for himself and God for all.” (G. Guareschi)

Built by Count Cesare Mattei, it consists of countless rooms connected by various staircases, a kind of labyrinth with several towers. Worth a visit.

Particular "gruyere" caves

The Labante Caves were formed thanks to the river coming from the San Cristoforo spring, which forms a small waterfall here. The spring has an average summer flow rate of around 11 liters per second and is used as a water and drinking supply. The San Cristoforo spring was discovered at the end of the 19th century and since 1986 it has also been used to power the aqueduct that supplies the municipalities of Castel d'Aiano and Vergato. https://www.lorenzotaccioli.it/grotte-di-labante/
