Some of the summit crosses bear the figure of Christ crucified. But the most famous crucifix on the Italian peninsula leads us from here to the Po Valley. It is here, in the "Bassa," that the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968) set his popular short stories about the protagonists "Don Camillo" and "Peppone." But besides these two, there is another main character: Jesus Christ himself speaks from the high altar to the priest Don Camillo—who was brilliantly portrayed by the actor Fernandel (Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin, 1903 to 1971) in several feature films. The crucifix, originally made solely for the film adaptations, has been preserved and has become a popular tourist attraction in Brescello (Emilia-Romagna). It can be visited virtually as a komoot highlight at the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6457013

When you stand in front of the arch you feel small and insignificant…

A beautifully designed and monumental cross with the larger-than-life body of the crucified Christ crowns Monte Tuttavista. However, Italy's most famous crucifix is not found on the mountaintops, but in literature: The author Giovanni Guareschi, spiritual father of the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone,' incorporated another main character into his stories – known and loved far beyond the country's borders: the crucified Christ, who speaks to Don Camillo from the high altar. The author himself makes the following comment: "So one must explain: If the priests feel offended by Don Camillo, they can smash a candlestick on my skull for all I care; if the communists feel offended by Peppone, they can break a club on my back; but if someone feels offended by Christ's speeches, there's nothing one can do. Whoever speaks in my stories... is my Christ, that is, the voice of my conscience. My personal business, my cause. And therefore: each for himself, and God for all." (G. Guareschi)

The church, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, was built at the foot of Mount Tuttavista in the 17th century. It was one of three rural churches in Galtelli.

The Church of St. Peter in Galtelli was built in the 11th century as a Pisan basilica and elevated to a diocese in 1138. Inside the church, there are frescoes from the late 12th and early 13th centuries depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The church's bell tower stands alone.
