The Francesco Biamonti Literature Park

The literary route of the Francesco Biamonti Park includes several stops with panels displaying quotations from the writer. Those interested in literature, landscape and the connection between written texts and real-life settings will find an independent focus for their holiday here.

Historical connections in the landscape

S.Croce, a settlement dating back to Roman times, lies on the north-western slopes of Monte S.Croce. The surrounding landscape is also home to the Nostra Signora dei Dolori Sanctuary, which dates from the 18th century.
