Mount Barbaro, Volcanic tuff cone in Phlegraean Fields, Italy.
Mount Barbaro rises to 331 meters with an oval crater that connects to another formation on its western side, displaying layers of volcanic ash and pumice deposits.
The Battle of Mount Gaurus occurred at the base of Mount Barbaro in 342 BC, where Roman forces defeated the Samnites during the First Samnite War.
The mountain received its Greek name Gauro, meaning majestic, due to its prominence within the Phlegraean Fields volcanic system near Naples.
Researchers monitor the volcanic structure regularly as part of the broader surveillance system covering the entire Phlegraean Fields volcanic area.
The mountain contains three distinct peaks: Mount Barbaro to the south, Mount Sant'Angelo at 308 meters to the north, and Mount Corvara at 290 meters.
