Publius Decius Mus and Titus Manlius Torquatus defeated some residents of Latium at a battle here in 340 BC. Joseph Wright of Derby has painted three different works centering at this place, including one from nearby Posilipo. Probably the most famous location with a name derived from the Oscan language, its slopes are used to produce a wine called the Lachrymae Christi. An eyewitness account of this location's most notable event was given by Pliny the Younger, whose uncle Pliny the Elder perished because of this structure. Similar to the landmark of Stromboli, for 10 points, identify this mountain responsible for the destruction of Stabiae, Herculaneum and Pompeii, an Italian Volcano.
