MEGALITHIC MONUMENTS

Pila-Canale Statue-Menhir
In 1932, Mr. Pancrace Feliciaggi of Pila Canale, owner of a vineyard here in
Zippitoli, U Cantonu, found two monoliths inclined at 45 degrees and covered with
shapes. He dug down to the base, where he found at a depth of two meters, an
organic soil with charcoal; Intrigued by these worked stones and sculptures,  
Feliciaggi tried to raise the large monoliths, but as a result of a bad manoeuvre, it
broke in two. Although the human attributes; eyes, mouth, spine and shoulder
blades are fading, U Cantonu is no less an example of the unique character of the
islands megalithic past, which covers a period from the final Neolithic until the end
of the Bronze Age.
