Hello friends, it's almost Easter time now and so, already anticipating the fact that I'll be eating a lot these days, I wanted to go on a very interesting little excursion near Asiago on the Sette Comuni plateau in the province of Vicenza, so not far from my home.
I wanted to do the Calà del Sasso which is a mule track, or rather a kind of historic path, which is traveled every year by many tourists and trekking enthusiasts, because you travel this road by doing 4.44 stone steps, Some even consider it one of the longest stairways in Italy but I don't know if this is true, I only know that this place is very suggestive and in my opinion very unique and is linked to the fact that this road was used at the time of the Republic of Venice to transport the logs which were then used by the Republic of Venice to build Venice too.
What I can say is that yesterday was a very hot day for the season, I'm also happy that it hasn't rained these days and that there is no rain on the horizon, because this gives me the opportunity to do lots of new walks that I like so much.
However, like every time I go for a walk, I always discover new things. During this walk I was able to notice some wooden sculptures that we can say make this place almost fairytale-like. They were mostly woodland animals or mythological or fantasy figures and I was very fascinated by these sculptures because they are very beautiful. Unfortunately, there were no signs to make it clear what they were and above all who made them.
So when I came home, I did a little research on the web and discovered that these are works of local sculptors who wanted to make this path even more beautiful and have practically donated these sculptures for free so that anyone who walks this path can admire these beautiful little animals hoping that they are not defaced or vandalized by the many bad people who are around here.
I hope the photos were interesting and also my story, maybe next time I will be a little more exhaustive in telling you the history of this place. I wish you all a happy Easter. See you soon.
