Parcellara Stone (Italian: Pietra Parcellara) is a mountain in the Ligurian Apennines located in the Trebbia Valley on the border between the comuni of Bobbio, to which the southwestern slope belongs, and Travo, to which the northeastern slope belongs, in the province of Piacenza. A black serpentine ophiolite, although not particularly high (836 m a.s.l.), it dominates the surrounding hills from which it juts out abruptly, standing out in morphology, color and grandeur. Together with the nearby Pietra Perduca, it is part of the Pietra Parcellara and Pietra Perduca SCI-SAC site. It allows, from its summit, a panoramic view of the Dorba di Bobbiano valley and the lower Trebbia valley to the north, the middle Trebbia valley with the Bobbio basin and Monte Penice to the southwest, and the Perino valley to the southeast. At the foot of the stone, in the municipal territory of Bobbio, there is an oratory dedicated to Our Lady of Caravaggio, located near the locality of Brodo and attached to the parish church of Mezzano Scotti.
