Founded in 1966, this Far Northeast Denver neighborhood derives its name from the Italian phrase that translates to "beautiful mountain." The neighborhood's moniker was inspired by the breathtaking views it offers of Mount Evans, Long's Peak, and the majestic Continental Divide. This name reflects the developers' recognition of the area's striking resemblance to the picturesque mountain region in the Italian Alps, making it a fitting tribute to the natural beauty that surrounds the community.
