kengelma visited - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 3 N 42.19071; E013.52817; Elevation 2.7762 M. Nearest intersection is Sp28 & Viale Padre Giovanni Minozzi; we found it by asking a local farmer. It's a wonderfully atmospheric place, out in the middle of nowhere. It is possible to drive very close by turning off the main road onto a dirt road, and then walking across a field to the stone. It is much smaller than it appears in most photos--about five feet tall. There are no markings from the road.
