Monte Corto

Monte Corto, Mountain summit in Marciana, Elba Island, Italy.

Monte Corto is a mountain summit in Marciana on Elba Island that reaches 949 meters above sea level. Its slopes are covered with Mediterranean vegetation and natural rock formations that overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The name Montecorto appears in a 1820 document from the Archivio storico di Marciana, marking a boundary near Pedalta. The mountain lies in the Monte Capanne chain in western Elba. In 2011 a rare stand of Taxus baccata was discovered on its summit.

The name Montecorto appears in the Marciana historical archive in 1820, in a boundary deed reading "La confine detta di Pedalta con la circonferenza di Montecorto". At the foot of the mountain stands the Caprile di Monte Corto, one of the best-preserved old goat enclosures on Elba, a reminder of the island's pastoral use of these slopes.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points around Marciana, with signs showing distances and elevation gains. Wear good hiking boots and bring plenty of water for the journey.

Near the summit grows a rare stand of Taxus baccata, the common yew, discovered here in 2011; the parasitic mushroom Macrolepiota procera also appears sporadically. At the foot of the mountain lies the Caprile di Monte Corto, one of the best-preserved old goat enclosures on Elba.
