I think I have climbed in the summer of 2009, the highest mountain lowest in Italy. I'm not sure because I do not know whether there is a ranking of the Italic mountain elevations, but the 116 meters on the level of the Adriatic which stands the Hermit Hill are definitely a nice record. Obviously this is not a real mountain, but only the highest point of the island of San Domino, the most popular of the small archipelago of Tremiti, facing the Gargano promontory. From the flock of houses in the village San Domino, Town Hall, it takes about three quarters of an hour's walk to reach the summit of the hill, first for a paved road and little traffic that flows through the pine forest of San Domino, and then to a dirt road, that we are stuck with being decorated of lamps up top. The elevation of the hill, flat, low and covered with Mediterranean vegetation, home to the miserable remains of the alleged Chapel of the Hermit, the only wreck the historic island, and opens an excellent view of the surrounding islands and the far coast of Puglia. I remember we went up the hill because there satisfaction in the late afternoon of the second day of stay in San Domino (you know that we always seek the mountains in the sea ...), and the feeling of being on top of the lower boot was alienating for us.
