The Trovante is the anthropomorphic silhouette that stands out through a play of light and shadow on the side of the Corno Birone and which represents, for the poet and painter Gaetano Orazio, his daimon, the ultimate meaning of his artistic research, the epiphany of that creative drive that accompanied him to the banks of the Rio Toscio to paint while questioning his identity. This figure takes on the value of an identifying element and a protecting deity, becoming a uniting element for the ten municipalities of the area from which it can be observed: Annone Brianza, Barzago, Bosisio Parini, Bulciago, Civate, Costamasnaga, Cremella, Garbagnate Monastero, Molteno and Monticello Brianza.
