The mouth of the Tiber River is located at 1,268 meters above sea level. Here, in the middle of the pristine forest, on a small clearing there is a travertine column that marks the point where the source emerges from the mountain.
The source was once located in Tuscany. It was Benito Mussolini who, in 1923, moved the regional borders, including Mount Fumaiolo and the so-called Romagna Toscana in the region east of the Apennines: this was to accommodate his desire that the sources of the Tiber be located in the Forlì area, that is, in his home province.
The dictator born in Predappio himself had the monument built to the source, inaugurated during a solemn ceremony in 1934. On it appear three wolf heads surmounted by an eagle facing Rome (an imperial symbol reused in the fascist era), with the rhetorical phrase engraved "Here is born the river sacred to the destinies of Rome".

The place was also known as "The veins of the Tiber", since the river was born from the confluence of two or three streams.

The source of the Tiber river is located on the slopes of Mount Fumaiolo at 1,268 meters above sea level, on the side that faces Tuscany, near Le Balze, a hamlet of the municipality of Verghereto (in the province of Forlì-Cesena). This river, also known as "the river sacred to the destinies of Rome," originates within a beech forest thanks to two springs called "the Vene," which are located just 10 meters from each other.

My suggestion is that you should first learn Italian and geography well, because the word mouth does not indicate the source of a river, but its outlet. Hello and.........study!
