Monte Pizzuta, Mountain summit in Piana degli Albanesi, Sicily
Monte Pizzuta reaches an elevation of 1,333 meters and stands as the highest peak in the Piana degli Albanesi mountain chain, southeast of Palermo.
Until the early 1900s, local farmers worked in snow pits near Monte Pizzuta, collecting snow to sell during summer months in Palermo.
At the foot of Monte Pizzuta, the rural Church of Madonna dell'Odigitria hosts Greek-Byzantine liturgies for the Arbëreshë community in May and August.
The mountain features marked trails through the Serre della Pizzuta Nature Reserve, where visitors can observe diverse wildlife including foxes and wild cats.
The eastern slope contains the Garrone Cave and Zubbione della Pizzuta, a vertical shaft extending approximately 100 meters deep into the mountain.
