Piglio. Church of Our Lady of the Mount

Piglio. Church of Our Lady of the Mount

The church of Our Lady of the Mount is located in Piglio at 976 meters above sea level to the highlands of Arcinazzo.

It remained for many years in a state of neglect and was used as a shelter for livestock.

It has recently been restored and in the square in front was set up a comfortable equipped rest area.

It was once guarded by "Romita", the hermit, a lone character on the edge of the monastic world, who had retired in solitude to wait with prayer and contemplation.
