Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01740] 'Holy giant .' A child is looking out of the back of a giant. The Colosso di San Carlone, a huge copper statue dating 1698 of a canonized shoot of the mighty Borromeo-family, overlooks the slopes above Lago Maggiore near Arona, blessing the landscape. As an ordinary mortal you can see the world through his holy eyes by climbing a narrow stairway all the way up into his head. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.LOMBARD 01809] 'Hermitage with a view .' The Santa Caterina hermitage is built on a breathtaking spot halfway up a cliff over Lago Maggiore. Here a hermit once retreated in a cave. He helped people with spiritual advise and medical care. Asking what he wanted in return he said "a chapel." Later a church and small monastery grew from it, still occupied by several lay brothers and sisters plus one friar and open to visitors. Photo Paul Smit.
