Castelnovo ne' Monti

Live view guide

Castelnovo ne’ Monti and Pietra di Bismantova live

The webcam shows Pietra di Bismantova, a great flat-topped rock formation dominating the Reggio Apennines.

The view shows visibility, cloud and light across the rock faces. The isolated outline of the Pietra is recognisable from much of the surrounding area.

Castelnovo ne’ Monti lies at its foot and is one of the main service centres and gateways to the Reggio Apennines.

History and local identity

Pietra di Bismantova was used for settlement and defence from ancient times and is mentioned by Dante in Purgatory. The surrounding area preserves parish churches, villages and traces of routes between the Po plain and Tuscany.
