Ronco di Maglio is a mountain in Liguria, northern Italy, part of the Ligurian Prealps.
The mountain is located near the centre of the Provincia di Savona, between the comuni (municipalities) of Osiglia and Bormida, and is one of the highest of the Ligurian Prealps. It stands on the ridge dividing two valleys belonging to the Bormida watershed, Osiglia valley (west) and Pallare valley. Going South a saddle at 858 metes divides it from Bric della Croce (911 m), while northwards the ridge lowers and ends up between Plodio and Millesimo. [1] Near the summit can be seen a few pine trees remaining from a thick coniferous wood which used to grow in there.
Around the mountain top some remains of Napoleonic trenches can be seen. [3]
Ronco di Maglio can be ascended by various waymarked foothpats; among them can be reminded the one starting from Colla Baltera (794 m [1] ) which, passing through Bric della Croce, reaches the summit from South. The mountain is also accessible by mountain bike. [4] The mountain top is wooded and almost flat; on its highest point stands a cairn with a summit register.
The mountain and its surrounding area are part of a SIC (Site of Community Importance) called Ronco di Maglio (code: IT1322216). [5]

On May 11, 2017 it was reported that due to a declining population the town's mayor Daniele Galliano recommended a proposal to the Ligurian regional government, and not a confirmed measure, but that it hopes to enact the bonus in 2018 of offering €2,000 ($2,175) and very low rents starting at $50 per month for anyone willing to move there.
