"Crudo sasso"

La Verna
A name, a place, a man

...And this is La Verna, the "crudo sasso" (severe, harsh rock) - as Dante Alighieri wrote in his Divina Commedia (Paradiso, XI) - where St. Francis of Assisi was stigmatized in 1224.



Surrounded by a hieratic beech-wood...




...the old "basolata" road rises steep to the Sanctuary.


A characteristic narrow stair-wall.
