Punta Roma, Mountain summit in the Cottian Alps, Piedmont, Italy

Punta Roma is a 3070 m peak on the North ridge of the Monviso group, on the border between France and Italy; French maps call it Pointe de Rome and give 3069 m. Its western slope is more even, while the eastern side is heavily broken. The ridge drops north toward Punta Udine and south past the Colle del Colonnello toward Punta Gastaldi. It is made of prasinite, amphibolite and eclogite of the Piedmont-facies Triassic-Jurassic series.

The summit was first climbed on 29 August 1905 by Ubaldo Valbusa, who named it Punta Roma, with the guide Claudio Perotti via the normal route from Pian del Re. The south ridge was first climbed on 11 August 1921 by Mario Sandri with Giuseppe and Giovanni Perotti, and the north-east ridge on 12 August 1933 by Alessandro and Natalia Caligaris with Giovanni Perotti.

The summit's name was given by Professor Ubaldo Valbusa, who made the first ascent on 29 August 1905 with the guide Claudio Perotti. A statue of the Madonna was placed on the traditional top in 1961, and a summit book container stands beside it; the true highest point, a few metres south, is marked by a stone cairn.

Visitors should expect variable weather conditions at altitude and pack appropriate alpine equipment for the climb. The warmer months offer more stable conditions for attempting either peak.

The summit marked by the normal route is not the highest point: the true top lies a few metres south, marked by a small stone cairn. On the traditional summit stand a statue of the Madonna, placed there in 1961, and the summit book container.
