La Verna. Entrance to "Sasso Spicco" La Verna: Francis of Assisi's holy mountain. Place of meditation ("Sasso Spicco"). You can admire there, among of many beautiful art objects, glazed terracotta by Andrea della Robbia, depicting basic motifs of Christian faith. La Verna The Sanctuary is situated on top of the mountain. Giovanni is wandering around. You can just take a break and eat something, in one of restaurants on mount La Verna, as we did.
