    Hiking

    A special feature of the village is the Gigante, a statue made of iron and cement representing Neptune and supporting a terrace. Located at the end of Fegina Beach, it was created in 1910 by Ariggo Minerbi of Ferrara in collaboration with the engineer Francesco Levacher. The statue is 14 meters high and weighs 170 tons. It originally belonged to Villa Pastine, built in the early 20th century, and was bombed along with the sculpture during World War II. In 1966, the giant was partially restored after a severe storm. Today, it is missing its trident and one leg.

    Off season is the best time for the hike. Otherwise very crowded.. beautiful scenery at every turn!
