Monte Settepani, Mountain peak in Liguria, Italy

Monte Settepani is a 1,386-metre mountain in the Ligurian Prealps, in the province of Savona. Its summit lies on a secondary ridge dividing the Bormida di Pallare valley from the Osiglietta valley, and five ridges converge on the peak. A weather radar of the Liguria Region stands on top among the remains of military installations.

The mountain witnessed conflicts during World War II between Italian partisan forces and Axis military units. These wartime events left marks on the landscape and remain part of the region's local memory.

The mountain gives its name to the Gruppo del Monte Settepani, one of three groups forming the Ligurian Prealps in the SOIUSA classification. Its summit area is part of the Site of Community Importance Monte Carmo - Monte Settepani (code IT1323112). The summit also holds a weather radar owned jointly by Liguria and Piedmont, built among the remains of 18th-century military installations.

The peak can be reached by multiple routes including an asphalted road via Colle del Melogno and hiking trails starting from nearby villages. Route choice and hiking conditions vary by season and starting location, so it helps to plan ahead for your preferred approach.

Between 1952 and 1957 the air force began an underground base near Forte Settepani, abandoned unfinished as Cold War technology advanced; its entrances were later walled up by the military. The summit radar is owned jointly by Liguria and Piedmont.
