Tavola dei briganti, Medieval inscription on Mount Cavallo in Sant'Eufemia a Maiella, Italy.
The Tavola dei Briganti features carved inscriptions, crosses, dates, and symbols on limestone rocks at an altitude of 2114 meters in Majella National Park.
Between 1861 and 1867, bandits carved messages on these rocks during the Italian unification period, expressing their opposition to the new Kingdom of Italy.
The inscriptions include a notable message about King Victor Emmanuel II, reflecting the social tensions and economic hardships of post-unification Italy.
The site is accessible through a hiking trail starting from Rifugio Pomilio at 1888 meters, passing by the Madonna della Neve statue and Blockhaus peak.
The limestone surface contains messages from both shepherds and bandits, documenting their activities and perspectives during a transformative period of Italian history.
