Valcava

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Valcava [valˈkaːva] (Alcàa [alˈkaa] or Valcàa [valˈkaa] in the Bergamasque dialect) is a mountain locality, a hamlet of the comune of Torre de' Busi (Bergamo), at 1,200 m altitude on the Orobie Prealpine ridge between Monte Tesoro (1,432 m above sea level) and Monte Linzone (1,392 m above sea level), below Monte Pizzo (1,400 m above sea level). It is known above all as a road pass (Valcava pass) connecting Valle San Martino, and therefore the Lecco area, with Valle Imagna in Bergamo territory, and for hosting countless radio and television installations, as it occupies a dominant position over the northern Po Valley and the Milan area. On clear days, without fog, clouds or haze, from the peaks and pastures of Valcava it is even possible to see the Madonnina of the Milan Cathedral, and all the skyscrapers.
