The summit of Mount San Michele was bordered by fortification walls dating back to the late Scaliger age, fixed on protruding limestone of the lower Miocene (from 23 to 15 million years ago), outcropping from the ground. In this way the walls, built in limestone blocks and binder in mortar with quicklime, resulted in a remarkable structural stability. The wall to the east of the church served as a containment to the external terrace of the same. To the south of the church was the cemetery area in use until the fifteenth century and then reused also on the occasion of the plague of 1630.<\/p>

BLACK PINE Pinus nigra, Family Pinaceae<\/strong>
Native to Austria, it is planted as a windbreak, adapts to poor soils and was also used for reforestation after \nthe Second World War on the southern slope of Monte San Michele. However, it is not suitable for living at \nan altitude of less than 500 meters and therefore easily falls ill in our area, and it is common to see large, \nsilky white cocoons in the shape of flasks 30-40 cm in diameter on its branches. These are the nests of very \nhairy caterpillars of a nocturnal butterfly belonging to the Notodontidae, the processionary moth. Some \nbirds (titmice, hoopoe, cuckoo) contribute to its control and must therefore be protected. In the pine \nprocessionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) the caterpillars that have emerged from the nest in \nsearch of fresh leaves arrange themselves in single file, the head of one is in contact with the abdomen of \nthe one before it, thus making very long processions<\/p>

Neither caterpillars nor nests should be touched \nbecause the bristles and their fragments penetrate the skin, causing a very itchy rash; the consequences \nare more serious if the eyes, nasal mucous membranes, mouth, respiratory and digestive tracts are \naffected.<\/p>

CIPRESS Cupressus sempervirens, Family Cupressaceae<\/strong>
It is native to eastern Mediterranean countries and is a distinctive feature of the landscape around Lake \nGarda. The best known form is the pyramidalis, the wood is resinous and prized for the manufacture of \nfurniture, as the aromatic smell keeps moths away. It is a long-lived plant, sometimes exceeding the \nmillennium, and also grows to a height of 25 metres.<\/p>

The Cypress in the myth<\/strong>
\nIn a Greek myth, Cyparissus was a young hunter from an island in the Aegean Sea. One day, during a hunting \ntrip, he saw a deer that was sacred to the nymphs. He accidentally hit it with his spear and killed it. Having \nrealised his mistake, Cyparissus despaired and, despite Apollo trying to dissuade him, asked the gods for \npermission to mourn forever: he was thus transformed into a thousand-year-old tree. The tall, sombre \ntrunks of the cypresses indicate from afar that there is a cemetery in that place; they represent mourning, \nbut also salvation, hope.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The CTG El Preon APS Group has decided to dedicate this route among nature, history and tradition to the \nmemory of one of the group's founding members, Romano Giacomelli, a tireless supporter of Cavaionese \nculture and education, who passed away in 2022.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
