Rising to 1,525 meters, Monte Nerone stands in the Umbrian Apennines with a prominence of 823 meters and features numerous limestone formations across its slopes.
The mountain name connects to Roman consul Gaius Claudius Nero, who chased Carthaginian forces to the peak during the battle of the Metaurus.
