Highlight • Monument

One of the windiest places in Italy, with gusts reaching 270 kilometers per hour, the Croce Arcana pass is located at an altitude of 1669 meters between the provinces of Pistoia and Modena, in the municipalities of Fanano and Abetone Cutigliano. On the Emilian side in 749 AD, Sant'Anselmo, before moving to Nonantola to found the famous abbey, had obtained lands in Val di Lamola, near Fanano, in Emilia, from the Lombard king Astolfo and had a hospice built there. for pilgrims: it was one of the many structures that facilitated the development and prosperity of the Via Romea Nonantolana. Today on the Arcane Cross there is a memorial to the Second World War, in this case composed of an obelisk and a couple of chariots.

Tassoni Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A famous refuge in the upper Modena Apennines, the Tassoni hut is located between Fanano and the Croce Arcana pass, in the Ospitale valley. It was built in the 1960s on the site of a sheepfold owned by a certain Giovanni Tassoni, whose name was inherited by the current refuge. Open every day from June to September, in the remaining periods it is only open on weekends but an emergency room equipped with beds and blankets is always accessible.
