Passo dell'Ospedalaccio, Sassalbo, Fivizzano, Provincia di Massa-Carrara (Provincia di Massa e Carrara), Toscana, Italia


Outcrops of metapelites and metabasites just to the southwest of Passo dell'Ospedalaccio (1271 m), along the orographic left of the northeast branch of Canale dell'Acqua Torbida (also known as Fosso dell'Ospitalaccio).


Similar rocks and minerals occur also at the head of the valley drained by the north branch of Canale dell'Acqua Torbida. The large landslide that affects this area is known as Lama dell'Ospitalaccio (or also Lama dello Spedalaccio). For this area, situated in the municipal territory of Comano, see https://www.mindat.org/loc-311754.html].
