Monte Cetona, Mountain summit in southern Tuscany, Italy
Monte Cetona reaches an elevation of 1,148 meters and forms a natural boundary between the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana valleys in Tuscany.
The metallic cross at the summit, erected in 1967, replaced smaller crosses placed after World War II and was inaugurated by Italian Chamber of Deputies president Brunetto Bucciarelli-Ducci.
The mountain belongs to multiple municipalities including Cetona, San Casciano dei Bagni, Radicofani, and Sarteano, each contributing to the regional identity of southern Tuscany.
Several transmission masts near the summit broadcast signals reaching Perugia, Orvieto, and Arezzo, making it a critical communications infrastructure point.
The mountain's geological composition transitions from limestone and clay at lower elevations to dolomite at the summit, creating distinct ecological zones.
