Description

The two peaks are located on the eastern side of the Monti della Laga mountain range, and they are separated by a gorge carved by the Salinello stream. The northern mountain, Montaga dei Fiori, has a slope descending into the Province of Ascoli Piceno. These mountains are also associated with the herb Field Wort (known in Latin as herba gentiana) which, according to the Pseudo-Apuleius Herbal, is useful against snake bite.[1]
