The upper piece of the templar cross was missing. . . but apparently vandals needed to take down google servers too. You can see at the top a metallic (Leghorn?) Chicken. The Martelli Family Crest had a chicken too.

Leontino the young man, who took possession of the helmet that the knight of the two helmets had left in the custody of the preacher, before returning to the holy land, headed for Siena along the Via Francigena. In just three days on foot, he reached the city of Siena. he decided not to return to his family because of disagreements from the past and headed for the castellation of one of his great-uncle, the last descendant of the Berardenga family. The wise old relative advised Leontino to try to seek asylum from the monks of the ancient monastery which later became the church of San Virgilio. The religious of the monastery had great esteem and admiration for all those who had done or were still part of the Templars, certainly they would not refuse to host Leontino. It was during one of his spiritual retreats in his humble cell that Leontino began to better observe the stolen helmet. Leontino did not imagine absolutely what power the helmet had, he knew from a confidence made by Roberto Martello, said da Volterra, that in the helmet there was a great power, but unknown. Intrigued by all this Leontino decided to wear the helmet and with great surprise realized he could hear the thoughts of the monks who were praying in the nearby cells and even seemed to have flashes of clairvoyance and premonition that led him to return in Egypt where he would have to reach a great inverted pyramid and bring back the "mirror of the romitone" and put it back in the room with the checkerboard floor.
The premonition had made him understand that if he had brought back the mirror of the romitone in Egypt he would have received in exchange the eternal love of Roberto da Volterra. At the end of the incredible vision Leontino had to take off his helmet quickly because Leontino was starting to feel bad with migraines and nausea. In addition, a few strands of hair remained attached to the helmet almost to make Leontino bald in some areas of the head. This disturbed Leontino a lot that worried about his thick hair promised to never wear the helmet again. But a few days later, his determination and love for Roberto Martello led him to repeat the experiment and ask for information on how to reach the great inverted pyramid. Immediately the helmet gave Leontino another much clearer vision. Leontino had to reach the knight of the two helmets because he knew exactly where the inverted pyramid was. The vision advised Leontino to leave immediately for the island of Pantelleria where, on the top of a mountain, he would surely meet the knight of the two helmets. The ship on which the knight of the two helmets was traveling, would have stopped on the island of Pantelleria before reaching Egypt and would remain there until August. Leontino had about three months to organize the trip ...

Holy Wan Kenobi! I've been thinking about that part. You following the mouse big little doctor cat? That's dangerous.
But some say chaotic writing is good for making space for new synapses. So, especially good for old cats and mouses.
Write a story from the perspective of a cat.
Writing Prompts About Cats
But there are as many cats as there are owners.

I found a templar cross that is more complete.. Near the church of San Girolamo di Volterra we see the templar cross including some other objects like whips and a glove. Interestingly enough there is a Calvario path east from the Valle Benedetta church.
The Gallo was a symbol for the rise of the sun.

Other crosses. I do not own the photos, Google owns them.

To be noticed: the white Madonna with a child (inspiring calm serenity and composure, like a mother caring for their son or daughter she smiles) was put into a wooden frame. At the centre of the cross yellow flowers.
This Madonna is found in a chapel in the Valle Benedetta Church. Some devotees put a rainbow Pace flag there and there was an event about peace at the Sambuca Hermitage some years ago.

The cemetery cross had redish plastic flowers, i thought of roses.

Boys and girls,
i want to inform you that there is an old cat in the cemetery of the Valle Benedetta. He/she is corpulent so someone must be feeding him/her. Some characteristics: green eyes, long and thick mustache, wild cat,
Something like this but the tail is of a light color and it was cut apparently.

Also very nice way of looking and walking. When the cat looks either the eyes are wide opened or almost closed, never inbetween.
Its Walking is very clocklike, always the same rhythm even when changing pace walking a little faster. Very graceful stepping never "aggressive", let's say calm but strong and noble. Observing it made me want to paint the sparkling waves of a sea when the sun is going down.

Like the sparkling at Terrazza Mascagni.

It jumped off the wall of the pink Martell Tomb. Good acrobatics skills i must say, even jumping up and down tombs, just a marvelous job.
I must say it was very nice to see how and where it moves to even though the cat looked kind of bored. Only at the end moved the tail.

The cat was going around the tombs after jumping down but let's not say which tombs for now and wait the storytellers for some advice.
