The Corno d'Aquilio, also called the horn of Agoggio in the past, is a mountain in Lessinia in the Province of Verona. It marks the northern limit of the Valpolicella. Its name comes from the Latin aquilus, which means dark. The raising of this limestone mountain dates back to about 30 million years ago.

At 1,545 meters high, Corno d'Aquilino is one of the most famous peaks of the Lessini Mountains, above Verona. It borders Valpolicella to the north and its name seems to derive from the Latin "aquilus", meaning dark. On one of its slopes, it boasts one of the deepest karst abysses in the world, almost 1,000 meters.
