The Monti Sabini is a mountain range in the Apennines of Latium, central Italy.[2] [1]
It is located in a north-south direction between the Monti Reatini at the east and the Tiber valley at the west.[3] The upper section is the Monti Sabini proper, on the boundary between Latium and Umbria, and the Monti Lucretili sub-range, on the boundary between the province of Rieta and the Metropolitan City of Rome. The two sub-ranges are separated by the plain and hilly areas of the Sabina. The highest peak of the range is Monte Tancia, at 1282m (4,206feet).
