Monte delle Formiche, Mountain summit in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Monte delle Formiche rises 638 meters above sea level between the Idice Valley and Val di Zena, approximately 30 kilometers south of Bologna.

The 85th Infantry Division of the United States executed military operations on Monte delle Formiche from October 10 to 13, 1944 during its liberation.

The Festa del Monte takes place during the second week of September with numerous activities at the mountain sanctuary.

The mountain features marked trails leading to the summit, offering connections to the broader network of paths in the Bologna Apennines region.

Male winged ants of the Mirmyca Scabrinodis species migrate from central Europe to this peak in early September for their nuptial flight.

Elevation above the sea: 638 m
