Geologically, Monte Labbro is composed mainly of Eocene limestone, forming a distinct calcareous relief compared with the volcanic formations of the Amiata massif.[1] The mountain falls within the south-western part of the municipality of Arcidosso. The mountain is part of a north-west to south-east–oriented ridge system, with elevations around 1,000 metres, which separates it from the Amiata chain. This ridge is divided from the Amiata massif by the Zancona River, along whose banks lie the villages of Zancona and Le Macchie, both hamlets of Arcidosso.[2]
The summit area is notable for the Torre Giurisdavidica, which served as the religious centre of the messianic movement founded by the preacher David Lazzaretti in the 19th century.[3][4]
