Monte San Marco offers some panoramic viewpoints at almost 1000 m altitude. From these, you can enjoy a wonderful view: to the east, Puglia with the Dauni mountains, to the north in the distance the mountains of Abruzzo (Maiella) today snow-covered and closer, those of Molise. In particular, the Matese range stands out with Mount Mutria, also covered in snow on the west side. Turning further west, we see the Taburno/Camposauro, the Partenio and in the distance the Terminio and the Picentini mountains.

As a memorial to the many dead, such cenotaphs or war memorials – like this “Monumento ai caduti” in Roseto Valfortore – are still very important today. “Now you, Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said...” it says in the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. Many places and monuments that you encounter along the way are a testament to the horror of war and tyranny - which is still significant and relevant today. They all have, and this is new for each generation, two essential functions: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Call for the preservation of peace
