Monte Giuoco del Pallone is a 1200-metre peak located between Esanatoglia and Campodonico. The name derives from a natural basin placed on the top, where "balloon with bracelet" was played, an ancient game popular in Italy until the beginning of the 1900s. It is a Site of Community Interest (SIC) due to the presence of protected habitats and species.
