Rock engravings on Piero's erratic boulder. sent on May 15, 2017 (15:43) by Massimo Schiavi. 38 comments, 879 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.

Many thanks, Giorgio, for the appreciation of this shot that does not have great photographic value, but I hope to have some documentary value of the archaeological riches of Varesotto.
Hi and good evening!

Really interesting Massimo. Think how much time they have seen passing these engravings (and how much they will be consumed with the weather agents!) Comes the chills! I like the cutting light that raises the grooves and the surfaces, and the play of lights and shadows that molds the stone.
Thanks for proposing it, and also for the caption that accompanies it.
Dear greeting, GA
