Monte Cocuzzo, Mountain peak in Calabrian Apennines, Italy
Monte Cocuzzo reaches an elevation of 1,541 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and a distinctive conical shape in the Catena Costiera range.
The mountain's name originates from Latin 'Cacutium' and Greek 'kakós kýtos', reflecting ancient observations about its geological composition and perceived volcanic nature.
Local communities around Monte Cocuzzo, including Piro, Ponticelle, and San Biase, maintain traditional connections to the mountain's natural resources and pathways.
Visitors can access Monte Cocuzzo through nearby towns like Mendicino, with the Lamezia Terme Airport located 43.5 kilometers from the mountain base.
Despite its volcanic appearance suggesting igneous origins, Monte Cocuzzo consists entirely of dolomite sedimentary rock formations, creating an unexpected geological contrast.
