Gran Sasso Massif.

Gran Sasso Massif.

Deep below lies the largest laboratory for elementary particle physics in Europe. On top, to the left, is the second largest plateau in Europe. The highest point, Corno Grande at 2912 m, was first climbed in 1572.

There is also a notorious spot; if you look closely to the left of the highest peaks, you will find a white spot. That was where Mussolini was held captive when he was freed by the Nazis during their attempt to establish a puppet republic in the north.
