Monte Stellas existence is not a geological serendipity.
Piazza Fontana, after a bombing raid in 1943.
Milans bombing left at least one third of the population homeless.
The hill was designed by architect Piero Bottoni, who dedicated the hill to his wife, Stella.
The hill is now surrounded by a small wooded park.
Each tree in this Garden of the Just (Giardino dei Giusti) is dedicated to one such person.
