Each of these crosses, which travelers often encounter in the fields or, as here, on mountain peaks, is a reminder of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Here on earth, His memory exists, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. Remembrance is our comfort, we who are still wanderers, traveling toward our homeland.” (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

Up here, on Monte Giarolo, the hiker won't find the classic summit cross that crowns many mountains. Instead, on a pedestal divided into two sections, stands the figure of the Risen Christ, adorned with a cross. Christ raises one arm in greeting—or rather, in blessing—and with the other, he embraces the cross, that gruesome symbol of suffering and death, which, through his resurrection, he transformed into a glorious symbol of victory over death.

At 1,473 meters above sea level, the peak of Mount Giarolo is on the so-called Ligurian Apennines but in the province of Alessandria, Piedmont. It is the northernmost point of the Antola chain and divides the Borbera and Curone valleys. On the summit there is a statue of Christ the Redeemer.

This mountain rises to 1667 meters, marking the border between the municipalities of Cabella Ligure and Fabbrica Curone, in the province of Alessandria. A curious detail is that on different maps its name changes: some call it Monte Oserone, others even Monte Coserone, but the correct name is Monte Cosfrone.
