Monte Marrone is a mountain in the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise. It is famous for having been the scene of a battle between the Alpini and the Germans during the Second World War. For this reason, on the top there is an iron cross with a bronze eagle and the motto of the Alpini Battalion "Tut per l'Italia" (Everything for Italy).

Hiking

Monte Marrone is a 1,800 meter high mountain in the Apennines. From its summit you can enjoy an excellent view of Lago di Castel San Vincenzo and, if visibility is good, even of the sea. On its southern flank, a small path leads down about 500 meters from the summit. At its end is the now-abandoned cottage of artist Charles Moulin, who lived here for much of each year and found inspiration for his art in this special place. The hut was built by the artist himself and consists exclusively of dry stone walls and other natural materials.
