Dating: {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1997}}: 1003-1005 dates this Stela due to the iconography to a late phase (degenerated representation of a human silouhette).

Unusually high stela of light grey granite gneiss found in alluvial sediment at a depth of ca. 3 m during the extension of the restaurant "La Palazzina", apparently together with an anepigraphic specimen which was not salvaged ({{bib|Donati 1985}}, {{bib|De Marinis & Motta 1991}}: 201). Originally left leaning against the wall of the guesthouse, the stela was taken to Locarno for restauration in 2000, on which occasion the second inscription was detected (see {{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 533). The stela is the northernmost inscribed stone document from the Sottoceneri and the only one from the Valle del Vedeggio (cf. {{bib|Piana Agostinetti 2004}}: 153). See the inscription pages for the typological/palaeographical dating.

Unusually high stela of light grey granite gneiss found in alluvial sediment at a depth of ca. 3 m during the extension of the restaurant "La Palazzina", apparently together with an anepigraphic specimen which was not salvaged (Donati 1985, De Marinis & Motta 1991: 201). Originally left leaning against the wall of the guesthouse, the stela was taken to Locarno for restauration in 2000, on which occasion the second inscription was detected (see Morandi 2004: 533). The stela is the northernmost inscribed stone document from the Sottoceneri and the only one from the Valle del Vedeggio (cf. Piana Agostinetti 2004: 153). See the inscription pages for the typological/palaeographical dating.
