Pinzu a Vergine alignment is a stone row in the community of Barrettali, Departement of Haute-Corse, Region of Corse.

A broken alignment on a rocky mountain pass called Pinzu a Vergine (name varies), only 1 stone still apparently standing and the others fell down, it is difficult to distinguish 'once-stood' stones and debris. Some scholars believe that one of the stone may be a 'statue-menhir'
Climbing the mountain trail 2 km from the entrance of the dead-end Petricaggio village, there is a saddleback area where the alignment lies, its position is also indicated in a German wandervogel book "Wandern auf Korsika" ISBN:9783770180189 p.23. The aglinment cannot be seen from the main path directly, so climb to the highest point of the col and try to find 2 huge landmark rocks or 2 signposts indicating 'Pinzu a Vergine', then you can easily find the standing and fallen stones there.
