Piglio. Path Pope John Paul II

Piglio. Path Pope John Paul II

Saint John Paul II often visited San Biagio above Piglio for moments of relaxation and prayer and loved to walk in this area of ​​unspoilt nature.

In his honour a path was traced from Piglio going up to the highlands of Arcinazzo, in the locality "Insuglio", alongside a small lake so named in Pigliese dialect.

At the beginning of the path, on a small rise, was placed a statue dedicated to the Pontiff.

Along the trail there is also a commemorative stele in the Pope's place of rest, a cross at the point where he recited the Angelus and large boulders on which are engraved many of the Pope's words.

There was recently also made a Via Crucis of 15 iron panels, 3 meters x 2 meters, by artist Adam Dell'Orco.
