Monte Spigolino, Mountain summit in Fanano and San Marcello Piteglio, Italy
Monte Spigolino is a mountain summit in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna that rises to 1827 meters and features formations of grey sandstone. The plateau at the top offers wide views across the Apennines.
The area around the mountain was used militarily during World War II, especially the mountain pass of Croce Arcana nearby. This strategic location shaped the local history of the mountain landscape.
The mountain marks the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, shaping the identity of both regions as seen in the local food served at nearby mountain refuges. Here different traditions meet and create a place where regional customs remain alive.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, including a popular 17-kilometer route from Doganaccia that reaches Rifugio delle Malghe. For the best experience, wear sturdy shoes and bring protection from weather since conditions at altitude change quickly.
A research observatory for astronomy sits on nearby grounds and regularly offers observations of the night sky. This makes the location interesting not only for hikers but also for stargazers.
