Among the many visitors to the Marmore Falls, the figure of Lord Byron is unforgettable, to whom the square in front of the last jump was also dedicated: here, in fact, the English poet was struck by this waterfall "incomparable cataract, horribly beautiful". The sculpture created for Byron by the artist Peppe Di Giuli consists of a steel ingot bench on which, as if it had been elegantly thrown by Byron, stands the gilded bronze cloak with the book next to it on which it is engraved in Italian and in English the text dedicated by the poet to the Marmore Falls.
“She advances
Like an eternity to swallow
Everything that comes across scares the eye
Blissful, incomparable cataract
Horribly beautiful.
Whence this noise? It's from Velino
Which falls plumb into the abyss
From the alpine edge of the mountain
Huge cataract and lightning
As fast as…
Foam in heaven
It rises and falls in perpetual rain
Inexhaustible cloud and sweet dew
Which germinates around an evergreen
May, a carpet of emeralds”.
Lord Byron – 1816 (the year he, aged 28, visited the Cascade)

Forca di Arrone

Highlight • Mountain Pass

It is the pass of the climb that connects the Piediluco Valley with the Valnerina. From here you can enjoy a beautiful panorama. Piediluco lake can be glimpsed in the middle of a luxuriant nature. It is worth a stop after the climb which, from the Piediluco side, is less demanding. On the other side there is a well-signposted time trial where you can test yourself.

Piediluco Village and Lake

Highlight • Settlement

The name Piediluco derives from Latin and means "at the foot of the sacred forest", the town stands on the shores of the lake of the same name and at the foot of Mount Luco. Once upon a time the main commercial activity was fishing. This close relationship with the lake is also visible in the bas-reliefs of the entrance door of the church of San Francesco where fish and fishing tools are depicted. On the day of the summer solstice the town comes alive for the Water Festival with concerts, dances and a parade of allegorical boats.

Inside the town of Piediluco it is possible to admire the lake along the long lake overlooked by the various shops where it is possible to make a short stop to admire the Echo mountain.
