In front of the field where the menhir lies there’s a mountain called Monte Greppino. When it’s stormy weather it attracts lightning. The God of ancient Liguria was called Penn, the divinity of mountain tops.

I found this menhir at the margin of a field on top of
a hill near other prehistoric sites.
