#1: NES Panoramic view from the point

(visited by Philippe Burtin and Antonella Burtin)

13-Oct-2021 -- We made a short trip in Italy and the opportunity of visisting this CP on our way from Parma to Bologna.

The point lies in a cultivated field in the immediate vicinity of an industrial and commercial zone. It is easy to reach by any means of transportation as there is a paved road at less than 100 meters.

Not much to see in the area and the point deserves a « dull » label. Nevertheless, many of my dear colleagues confluencers should be interested by a visit of the city of Bologna where it is possible to walk around the medieval towers and to appreciate the accuracy of the meridian line in the cathedral.
