Some summit crosses have no corpus, while others are adorned with the figure of the crucified Christ. But the most famous crucifix on the Italian peninsula leads us away from here into the Po Valley. There in the 'Bassa', the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968) set his popular short stories about the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone'. But besides the two, there is another main character: because Jesus Christ himself speaks from the high altar to the priest Don Camillo – whom the actor Fernandel (Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin, 1903 to 1971) portrayed excellently in several feature films. The crucifix, originally made only for the film adaptations, has been preserved and has become a popular tourist attraction in Brescello (Emilia-Romagna). Via the following link, it can be virtually visited as a komoot highlight =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6457013

The coast of Monte Forato, between Cardoso and Fornovolasco, is of great beauty, although care must be taken when walking along it. From here, in fact, you can see from close range the famous "hole" in the rock that gives the mountain its name, a natural arch visible from both Versilia and Garfagnana.
