The Monte San Giorgio is a mountain in the Cottian Alps, Metropolitan City of Turin in Piedmont, north-western Italy. It is located in the comune of Piossasco.
The mountain overlooks the centre of Piossasco and belongs to the Norht flank of the Chisola valley. On its summit three ridges meet: the Eastern one goes down till to a saddle named Colle della Serva, then regains elevation with the Rôcàs and connects the mountain with the Montagnazza and the rest of the Alpine chain; the brief North and South ridges divide the flat area where the centre of Piosasco lies from the Chisola valley and from the short valley drained by a stream named Bealera di Piossasco. On the summit of Monte San Giorgio stands a tall summit cross, a small shelter devoted to the memory of Lorenzo Nicola, an Italian officer fallen in Russia in 1943 and awarded with the Gold Medal of Military Valour, and the Saint George's Middle ages church.
