Monte Falterona

Mountains and hills

The mountain, located in the Foreste Casentinesi National Park, was a sacred place for the Etruscans

Monte Falterona, 1,653 metres high, is the second tallest peak in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines after Monte Falco. The mountain is part of the enchanting Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona, Campiglia National Park.

Majestic and wild, Monte Falterona has been bestowed since antiquity with a strong sense of spirituality. It’s very likely that the Etruscans named it and considered it a temple, a sort of Olympia that found its energy in the beauty of nature. Its first name, Fal Truna, means “Throne of God”.
