Pietra di Bismantova is a rock in Emilia Romagna, above Castelnuovo Ne Monti. It is a plateau with many climbing walls and a forest on the summit.

Under these great walls, there is an hermitage, built in seventeenth century, where some Benedictines has lived time ago. Now it is a Marian sanctuary, where you can find the 'Madonna di Bismantova' to whom the hermitage is dedicated.

From here the landscape over hills and towns is wonderful and unusual:

I was here with some friends of mine:

And here a snake (not a fossil) carved by someone into the stone, to remember that this zone was an oceanic plateau (Tetide ocean), so you could find,with a bit of luck, some ancient fossils.
