--*-- "Tra duo liti d'Italia surgon sassi, E non molto distanti alla tua patria, Tanto che i tuoni assai suonan più bassi: E fanno un gibbo che si chiama Catria, Di sotto al quale è consecrato un ermo, Che suol esser disposto a sola làtria." --*-- (Paradiso XXI, 106-111) ---- Dante Alighieri, forse esule, stette per qualche tempo presso il Monastero di Fonte Avellana, proprio ai piedi della Montagna, ricordandola così con versi immortali, nella sua Divina Commedia. -- Attorno a questo Monte gravitano ben otto luoghi, tra Abbazie, Eremi e Cenobi che seguivano tutti la "Regola di S. Benedetto". -- Il 22 Agosto 1901, sulla vetta, fu eretta per volere di Papa Leone XIII°, una gigantesca Croce di Ferro dedicata a Gesù Cristo, in ricordo del Giubileo del 1900.

Beautiful composition! It really like the detachment, reinforced also by different colors, including the first floor (which belongs to the man and his work) and the second (which belongs to the sacredness of the Mountain). In addition, the first floor is flat while the latter rises to the High. Compliments.
A greeting. Stephen
