On an autumn outing to Dasile, a tiny hamlet above Chiavenna (Sondrio Province), my eagle-eyed sister noticed in the grass a small stone carved with some cup mark (three very deep and three rather shallow).
The stone is west facing and close around it, almost in a circle, there are bigger rocks protruding from the ground, some with perfectly flat sides, but on them we noticed no marking at all!
Walking through the hamlet itself, we came across two other carved stones. One presents minimal markings; the other, with several linked cup marks, is used as a bench.
Dasile, and nearby more famous Savogno, with their breathtaking view over Bregaglia Valley, can be reached by car from Chiavenna (parking at 3 km from the hamlets), but taking the forest track is a much recommended option, the path winds up the side of the mountain, step after step, passing ruins and a beautiful ancient fountain.
