The mysterious megalithic face of Borzone in Liguria.
For a long time I had been meaning to go and see this prehistoric monument which is not far from where I live (Sestri Levante).
With a friend, a few months ago now, we seized the opportunity and on a sunny Saturday afternoon in November we went to see the splendid Borzone Abbey and from there, following the short path (about 6 kilometres there and back) indicated, you reach the beautiful monolith.
I took several photos but I tell you: the images do not do as well as the real thing.

Given the lack of systematic studies on the find, its dating is still the subject of various hypotheses. The first ones date it back to between the Upper Paleolithic (between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago) and the Neolithic (between 10,000 and 3,500 years ago), in the wake of anthropomorphic menhirs such as those of Carnac.
