Monte Labbro

Monte Labbro rises to 1193 meters as part of the Mount Amiata volcanic cone, featuring a distinctive bare, rocky peak with sparse vegetation.

During the 1870s, Davide Lazzaretti established a religious community at the summit, constructing a tower and hermitage before his death in 1878.

The jurisdictional tower at Monte Labbro stands as a testament to Lazzaretti's movement, which promoted social equality and education for all children.

The nature reserve surrounding Monte Labbro spans 650 hectares, offering marked trails for hiking and opportunities to observe local wildlife including eagles and deer.

From the summit cross, visitors can see across multiple regions of Italy and, during clear weather conditions, the view extends to the island of Corsica.
