We came across this intriguing lump of rock while pootling around in Sardinia a few weeks ago.
To quote one of the Sardinian tourist web sites:-
"Monte Pulchiana is the largest granite monolith in Sardinia, situated on a highland in northern Gallura, at 550-673 m above sea level. It is an inselberg that originated from the breakdown of the rock via a process of hydrolysis. It has a characteristic round form, "panettone" (traditional Italian Christmas cake)."
