Monte Medolano, Summit and mountain in Medole, Italy.
Monte Medolano rises 67 meters above sea level as the final foothill of the Lake Garda morainic hills toward the Mantuan plain.
During the Battle of Solferino in 1859, General Mac-Mahon established his command post on Monte Medolano to plan attacks against Austrian positions.
The mountain served as a traditional Easter Monday gathering spot for Medole residents who organized family picnics on its slopes.
A 2009 agreement between landowners and local administration restored public access to Monte Medolano through a comprehensive clearing operation.
French soldiers planted a circle of thuja trees on the mountain to create a cenotaph honoring their fallen comrades during the 1859 campaign.
