Monte Pidocchina, Mountain summit in Tuscany, Italy

Monte Pidocchina is a summit in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines that rises to approximately 1,296 meters. From its peak you can see neighboring mountain ranges and, on clear days, islands in the distance.

Until the late 1980s the mountain hosted a winter sports destination with a ski lift and two slopes on its northern side. The ski operations have since closed and the landscape has transformed.

The summit carries the television and radio transmitters serving Alto Reno Terme, Sambuca Pistoiese and San Marcello Piteglio, including the three RAI radio networks and muxes such as TVL Pistoia on channel 25. An Enel RIAM radio repeater once stood on the top; it is abandoned but the site remains Enel.net property.

The summit carries radio and TV transmitters serving Alto Reno Terme, Sambuca Pistoiese, San Marcello Piteglio and nearby areas, including TIM, Vodafone, Wind and Iliad masts and the three Rai radio networks. An abandoned Enel RIAM relay site remains on the top, still owned by Enel.net. The northwestern slopes hold the hamlet of Frassignoni.

On clear days the summit offers views of the islands of Elba and Capraia as well as the Apuan Alps and the main Alpine chain. This sweeping vista spans several different landscape regions from a single vantage point.
