Pera Grossa, Glacial erratic in Anfiteatro morenico di Rivoli-Avigliana, Italy
The Pera Grossa rises 10 meters above ground on the morainic ridge between Rosta and Reano, displaying the characteristics of transported glacial rock.
During the late Pleistocene period, glacial movements transported this massive boulder from its original location to its current position in the Piedmont region.
The stone formation belongs to the Geopark of Alpine Cozie region, contributing to the geological understanding of glacial movements in Northern Italy.
Visitors can reach the erratic boulder through multiple access points, including designated hiking trails and cycling paths within the morainic amphitheater.
The boulder stands among numerous other erratics in the area, forming part of a 50-square-kilometer geological complex shaped by ancient glacier activities.
