Monumental Cross on Monte Amiata
Highlight • Monument
Mount Amiata, located in southern Tuscany and 1738 meters high, was the ninth construction in order of time in 1910. The Tuscan episcopate, for the cross to be erected, entrusted the task to Monsignor Bellucci, bishop of Chiusi and Pienza, in whose jurisdiction Mount Amiata was located. The project was commissioned to the architect Zalaffi, from Siena, who completed the work in a short time. The cross was mounted in Siena and immediately appeared "slender, harmonious and beautiful", reflecting the Belle Époque style, with various elements of a flowery style. All in wrought iron, 22 meters high and resting on a base of 8x8 meters.
