Monte Zappi

Monte Zappi rises to 1,276 meters in the Monti Lucretili range, offering views across the surrounding valleys and the distant city of Rome.

Ancient Romans documented this peak as Lucretilis Mons, with references found in texts dating back to the time of poet Horace and his Sabine farm.

The mountain landscape influenced local poetry and literature, particularly through Horace's writings about the views from his neighboring Sabine property.

Hiking trails connect to the Rifugio Monte Gennaro mountain shelter, located 486 meters west of the summit, providing a rest point for mountaineers.

This limestone peak stands as the highest elevation visible from Rome when viewed from the western approach, marking it as a natural landmark.
