オルジャーテ・モルゴラのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Christiane Völkel posed the question of inner balance and greater equilibrium to herself and her readers. Perhaps her answer will also be helpful to the hiker or stroller who pauses a while before this small, sacred monument: "...and by allowing God the freedom to do not my will, but his. What this requires is patience with myself and the courage to take a new first step: towards myself, my neighbor, and towards God. And to place my worries in God's hands and trust in him." May every cross erected along the streets and paths of towns and villages, in fields and forests, as well as on mountain peaks, be understood as a renewed invitation from God to entrust our human worries and needs to him.

breathtaking view, a bit difficult to climb.

In the main square of Montevecchia stands a villa renowned not only for its architectural beauty but also for having been the summer residence of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, who can be considered one of the founders of gender equality and female independence, having achieved a prestigious position in a field formerly reserved for men: science and mathematics. Maria Gaetana was a child prodigy, with an extraordinary intelligence and the fortune of being raised by a father who did everything to cultivate and nurture her talent. At just seventeen, Maria wrote her first essay, a commentary on the analysis of conic sections by the French mathematician L'Hôpital, and, a few years later, a collection of essays on philosophy, mathematics, and physics, the "Propositiones philosophicae," which also addressed the issue of female education. But the work for which Maria rightly entered history was the Analytical Institutions, a two-volume text of over a thousand pages, intended as a study manual that covered the different areas of mathematics in a clear and concise manner: algebra, geometry and the newborn differential and integral calculus.

Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel, it stands atop the Montevecchia hill. From the terrace, there is a splendid view of much of the Po Valley, the Alps, and the Apennines, almost reaching as far as Bologna.

A few steps to get to the little church but the view from above makes it worthwhile

The surrounding landscapes are beautiful

I imagined it to be higher but once you get up there you can admire the panoramic view of the valley

a nice stream along the path
