Rock engravings on Piero's erratic boulder. sent on May 15, 2017 (15:43) by Massimo Schiavi. 38 comments, 734 views.

Uno dei pochi esempi nel Luinese di masso che presenta pregevoli incisioni e graffiti risalenti al 2000 avanti Cristo. Questo grosso macigno, che sorge nell'omonima località prealpina, a strapiombo sul torrente Giona, si contraddistingue per la presenza di incisioni rupestri risalenti al 2000 avanti Cristo: il valore di questi graffiti è notevole, dal momento che rappresentano simboli e figure tipiche dell'epoca pagana. Alla destinazione culturale estremamente importante del megalite, si aggiunge il forte interesse che suscitò nel corso dei secoli scorsi, quando fu utilizzato nell'ambito di pratiche religiose legate all'adorazione della natura e al cristianesimo: a testimonianza di questo, si può notare come i simboli pagani vennero sostituiti nel Medioevo da svariate croci fiorite di chiara influenza iconografica carolingia. Alcune delle incisioni del masso di Piero, se confrontate con altre ubicate nella aree limitrofe, fanno dedurre come queste aree furono abitate già da molto tempo fa, precisamente a partire dal secondo millennio avanti Cristo. (Dal sito di "Varese Land of Tourism"). Scatto del Maggio 2017.

Interesting, but is not covered by a shed? ;-) Hi Massimo from FB-

No, the boulder is not covered, but it has only a few fences to protect it ... you do not know what!
In fact, as you can see from the picture, it is very accessible and, if you want, you can even walk on it!
So these pro-pro-pro -...- pro-parents of 2,000 years ago, when they made the engravings, put us all seven sentiments, and so they did so well that they have remained so far ... Despite us!
Thank you very much, Franco, for the good comment!
Hello!

I'm ashamed to say it, Antonella, but I did not even know him that I am near enough! : - | : - | : - |
Anyway, at Piero Mulini and Monteviasco (with a cable car) if you do not know them, I suggest you to spend a day, possibly, not on Saturdays or Sundays.
Many thanks for the welcome comment!
Hi and good evening!
