Glacial Erratic in Lombardia

Just outside Sesto Calende there is the “preja bruja”, it's an erratic stone near which, in ancient times, the women of the Golasecca's culture (Golasecca is a village nearby) practiced rituals for mother Earth and for fertility.

The correct name of the place is "Preja buja", not "Pietra Bruja".
Also the place is in Lombardia, not in Piemonte.
