Mount Amiata, Mountain peak in southern Tuscany, Italy.
Mount Amiata rises to 1,738 meters, featuring dense forests of beech and fir trees, with olive groves and vineyards covering its lower slopes.
The mountain formed as a volcanic complex approximately 300,000 years ago, later becoming a central mining area for cinnabar extraction from 1870 to 1980.
The mountain slopes contain multiple municipalities between 600 and 800 meters elevation, including Abbadia San Salvatore, Arcidosso, and Santa Fiora.
Visitors access the mountain via the SR2 Cassia road, connecting through SP61 toward Abbadia San Salvatore, with several thermal bath locations nearby.
The mountain's thermal activity continues at Bagnore geothermal field, while its forests produce chestnuts and mushrooms during autumn months.
