お兄ちゃんだけど愛のおすすめランニングルート

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 of Souls" may look relatively old, but it was only built in the 18th century. It has a beautiful Baroque façade in the entrance area.

Wonderful view after the steep climb

On this secondary peak of Monte Tuttavista stands a modern fire watchtower, which serves to spot and monitor any forest fires early on. The panoramic view in all directions is accordingly good. You can cycle up here. You'll then have to cycle back a short distance for the descent.

Many prominent places that people consider special have been decorated with small sacred monuments. For this reason, mountain peaks, for example, were often crowned with a cross. The depiction found here is unusual in that the crucified Christ is comparatively rarely depicted with a halo around his head.

Anyone who has made it up the climb has earned the view (and a break).

The effort was worth it.
