Great Stone ofItaly

The text has: "Gran Sasso d'Italia (or Great Stone of Italy)." It's true that one of the meanings of "sasso" is "stone", "pebble" etc., but another meaning is "crag, cliff or mountain", especially a very rugged or rocky mountain. (The Dizionario Treccani states: "Rupe; parete rocciosa, scoscesa e nuda, di un monte, e il monte stesso, quando si presenta roccioso.) So "Gran Sasso" is much closer in meaning to "Rocky Mountains" than "Great Stone of Italy", which is a very poor translation. I removed it.Campolongo (talk) 09:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Assergi, at the base of the mountain, is the nearest village

This assertion appears to be incorrect. The nearest village to the summit of Gran Sasso d'Italia is Pietracamela, which is 5.5km from the summit of Corno Grande. Assergi is 7.63km distant (both straight line distances). I propose to correct this statement if there are no valid objections. Lotaresco (talk) 07:45, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
