    Main peak of the Mai group, it reaches an altitude of 1,607 meters above sea level. From here it is possible to enjoy a breathtaking panorama that includes from East to West: Mount Accellica, the Gulf of Salerno, the Lattari mountains, the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius, while towards the north quadrants it is possible to admire Mount Terminio, which with its 1,806 meters it is the second highest peak of the Picentini Mountains, the Partenio group, and on particularly clear days also the Matese massif.

        it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Mai

        from ulyxes.it/monte-mai-ee:

        The name of the Monti Mai certainly derives from the Latin word "maior", large. Some ancient papers and the same reports of Giustino Fortunato, illustrious explorer of the Picentini, also report the diction Maj.

        Main ridge of the homonymous mountain group, elongated in the ESE-WNW direction, the peak is located at the convergence of three ridges, impervious and interrupted by gaps, rocky crags and secondary peaks. The Monti Mai belong to the westernmost subgroup of the Monti Picentini, one of the largest mountain groups in southern Italy and part of the homonymous regional park. They are characterized by Mesozoic carbonate platform rocks and to a lesser extent by Triassic dolomites and marls.

        The vegetation that covers the Monti Mai is mainly represented by beech trees that cover the upper part, over 800 m, and chestnut trees on the slopes.
        The fauna, very rich, like that of all the Picentini Mountains, consists of large mammals, such as the wolf, the fox, the badger, the wild boar; birds of prey such as the peregrine falcon, the buzzard, the sparrowhawk, the goshawk; the black woodpecker, long-eared owl, dipper, kingfisher; amphibians such as the Apennine frog, the European green toad, the spectacled salamander, the fire salamander.
