Some summit crosses, like this one, have no corpus, while others have the figure of the crucified Christ. But the most famous crucifix on the Italian peninsula leads us from here to the Po Valley. It is there in the 'Bassa' that the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968) set his popular short stories about the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone'. But apart from these two, there is another main character: Jesus Christ himself speaks from the high altar to the priest Don Camillo - who was played excellently by the actor Fernandel (Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin, 1903 to 1971) in several feature films. The crucifix, originally made just for the film adaptations, has been preserved and has become a popular tourist attraction in Brescello (Emilia-Romagna).

Today it is possible to reach the 1,831 meters of Mount Orsaro on foot, coming from the two asphalted passes of Cisa and Cirone.
