Roccia del Mago
Roccia del Mago submitted by SolarMegalith : Human representations (probably Copper Age) on Roccia del Mago (photo taken on August 2014). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Piemonte. This large boulder is located on the altitude of 1960 m above sea level, near Lago Lauson, a beautiful mountain lake. The carvings are located on the southern sloping surface of the boulder, they include at least two human figures, two crosses and a carving resembling number "10". The human figures are likely to be Copper Age due to their similarity with the style III carvings from Val Camonica.

Roccia del Mago is visible from the road leading to Lago Lauson (to the right, below it), you can also reach it from the nearby farmstead. Look for two water tubes standing next to the boulder.
