Geography

The Monte Renoso massif is one of the four main blocks of mountains in Corsica. These are (from north to south), the Monte Cinto massif, Monte Rotondo massif, Monte Renoso massif and Monte Incudine massif.[1] These massifs form the Corse cristalline, mainly composed of magmatic rocks such as granites, granulites, porphyries and rhyolites.[2] The Monte Renoso massif is lower and more open than the northern ones. It is bounded to the south by the Taravo river valley, to the west by the hillsides of Ajaccio country and to the east by the Fium'Orbo.[2]
