History
The Cime the Capoves up to World War II belonged to Italy but, following the Paris Peace Treaties, signed in February 1947, is now in France[4] because the France–Italy border runs between Colle dei Signori and Colle di Capeves east of the mountain.
Geography
The mountain belongs to the Ligurian Alps and is located on the main chain of the Alps. Going South a saddle at 2.007 m,[5] sometimes named Colle di Capoves,[6] divides it from the Cima di Pertegà, wihlie going North the Cime de Capoves is divided from the Cima Gaina by the Colle dei Signori. On the eastern side of the mountain runs a former-military dirt road connecting Monesi (a village of the municipality of Triora) with the colle di Tenda. The summit is marked by a stone cairn and administratively belongs to an exclave of the Frenc municipality of La Brigue.[5]
