A mountain pass about 800 meters above sea level, where for a moment you can almost forget you're in Sicily.
Surrounded by woods and deep gorges, it is sadly famous for the massacre that took place there after World War II.
Nearby, during the Fascist era, a small village of roadmen's houses was built, whose structures still adorn the sides of the road today.
