Monte Semprevisa, Mountain summit in the Monti Lepini, Lazio, Italy
Monte Semprevisa is the highest peak of the Monti Lepini, reaching 1,536 metres on the border between the provinces of Rome and Latina, in the territories of Carpineto Romano and Bassiano. Like the rest of the range it is made of limestone, and karst dissolution has opened the Abisso Consolini, a cave just south-east of the summit. From the top the view takes in the Agro Pontino, the Circeo promontory, the Pontine islands and, on clear winter days, Ischia.

The CAI trail 710 up the mountain is named after alpinist Daniele Nardi, who often climbed to the Semprevisa summit. Near the top, at 1,052 m on the Bassiano route, stands a mountain hut abandoned until 2 May 2009, when volunteers named it Rifugio Autogestito Liberamonte; it has a fireplace, dishes and a wood supply kept up by its guests.
The ascent follows the Sentiero Daniele Nardi trail, which starts from a parking area near Carpineto at approximately 880 meters. The route is marked and takes several hours to complete the round trip, depending on fitness and weather conditions.
The mountain serves as a landmark for several local communities and features in regional hiking and exploration routes. On clear days, views from the summit extend across much of southern Lazio.
