Colle della Maddalena

Colle della Maddalena, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy.

Colle della Maddalena, or Bric della Maddalena, is the highest point of the Colline del Po at 715 metres, with a topographic prominence of 495 metres and an isolation of 21.78 kilometres. Its north-western slope, including the summit, lies within the Parco della Rimembranza and just surpasses the nearby Bric della Croce at 712 metres.

Prehistoric finds predate the Caburriates, a Celtic tribe linked to the Taurini, who settled lower at Cavoretto in the 5th century BC. The Romans later used the summit as an outpost overlooking Augusta Taurinorum. Dominican friars in the 13th century dedicated the hill to Mary Magdalene, and in 1925 Vittorio Emanuele III inaugurated the Parco della Rimembranza here for Turin's World War I dead.

The name Maddalena comes from the Dominican friars who, around the 13th century, dedicated the hill to Mary Magdalene. The summit lies within the Parco della Rimembranza, planted in 1925 for Turin's war dead, and the Faro della Vittoria was added there in 1928. The Grande Traversata della Collina hiking route also passes the hill.

A provincial road passes a few metres below the summit, reachable from San Vito, Val Salice, Pino Torinese, Revigliasco or Pecetto; the climb from Eremo is 2.7 km. The Grande Traversata della Collina hiking trail also reaches the top. The road is narrow in places.

The summit's topographic prominence is 495 metres, not the 41 metres sometimes cited, and its isolation reaches 21.78 kilometres. The name Colle della Maddalena properly refers to the highest point the provincial road touches near the bric, on the watershed line. The summit also hosts radio and television transmitters installed during the 20th century.
