Colle della Maddalena, or Bric della Maddalena, is the highest point in the Po Hills, located a few kilometers east of Turin. Monviso is 64 km away from there. "King of Stone" (Re di Pietra) is the nickname sometimes given to Monviso. The name Monviso derives from the Latin *Mons Vesulus*, which means "clearly visible mountain." And, in fact, this is the defining characteristic of Monviso. When viewed from the Po Valley, its pyramidal shape rises imposingly—seemingly out of nowhere—making the mountain visible and easily recognizable even from great distances. |
