Deversi Pietra delle Masche

Cup Marked Stone

Fieldnotes

Deversi, Li Cunni. Pietra delle Masche

An interesting engraved stone. I found it thanks to Professor Renzo Amedeo.

A sacred area, in the neighbourhood there are other engraved stones. Ligurian tribes were living here too (so not only in Liguria but also Piemonte, Lombardia and other places in north Italy).

It's called Pietra delle Masche (Witches' or Hags' Stone) because legends tell of witches dancing on the stone on certain nights.
