Monte Spigolino

Monte Spigolino, Mountain summit in Fanano and San Marcello Piteglio, Italy

Monte Spigolino is a 1827-metre summit on the main ridge of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, between the Passo della Calanca and the Passo della Croce Arcana, on the border of the provinces of Pistoia and Modena. Its slender, vaguely two-faced pyramidal profile dominates the upper Lima valley on the Tuscan side and the Dardagna valley and Corno alle Scale ski area on the Emilian side, where its steep slopes rise from the valley floor. It lies within the Parco regionale del Corno alle Scale.

Monte Spigolino is first recorded under this name on a 1746 map drawn by the abbot Domenico Vandelli, covering the municipalities of Abetone Cutigliano and Fanano. Its name reflects its slender, vaguely two-faced pyramidal shape. The mountain marks the natural border between the provinces of Pistoia and Modena, and the old Passo della Croce Arcana, called Passo dell'Alpe alla Croce since the Middle Ages, lies at its edge.

The name Spigolino, first recorded on a 1746 map by abbot Domenico Vandelli, describes the mountain's slender, two-faced pyramidal profile. The summit marks the natural border between the provinces of Pistoia and Modena, and the old Passo della Croce Arcana below was already called Passo dell'Alpe alla Croce in the Middle Ages.

The summit can be reached from the Doganaccia refuge at 1547 m, which is accessible by car or cable car from Cutigliano, or from Capanna Tassone and Passo del Lupo above Fanano, or from Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi at Lago Scaffaiolo at 1790 m. The Dardagna waterfalls are reached by a trail from Madonna dell'Acero at 1190 m.

The summit marks the watershed between three drainage systems: the Dardagna and Ospitale streams flow toward the Panaro and the Po, the Rio d'Andia feeds the Lima and the Serchio, reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Dardagna rises at the mountain's foot and drops over a 34-metre waterfall.
