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.
