Pietra Corva
Highlight • Viewpoint
Pietra Corva is one of the crucial points of the ancient Maria Longa road, a route with remote origins, of notable historical and naturalistic importance, which connects Ramiola di Medesano to Mariano di Pellegrino Parmense. A ridge itinerary that was of particular strategic importance already in the Lombard era. Its attendance, according to numerous historians, dates back to prehistoric times and some archaeological sites from the Bronze Age bear witness to this: among these, Pietra Corva, a fundamental junction point of the path, and Groppo Rizzone, which skirts the slopes of the ridge on which the Maria Longa is located towards the Ceno stream. In the area there also remain, not surprisingly, evidence of the ancient Celtic and Ligurian populations in toponyms such as Ceno and Taro.
