Monte Rovella, Mountain summit in Province of Biella, Italy.
Monte Rovella rises to 889 meters in the Pennine Alps between the territories of Bioglio and Valle San Nicolao municipalities, featuring three forested slopes.
The summit served as a critical point in the fortress perimeter constructed by the Bishop of Vercelli during the early 14th century to contain Fra Dolcino.
Archaeological surveys from 1990 discovered evidence of temporary occupation and remains of an ancient fortified camp near the mountain peak.
The mountain summit can be reached through a cleared road and trail from the sanctuary of Banchette, with additional paths from Bioglio and Romanina.
Local traditions identify the slopes of Monte Rovella as a gathering place for witches throughout its recorded history.
