The [[Source (river or stream)|source]] of the Tiber consists of two [[Spring (hydrosphere)|springs]] {{convert|10|m|abbr=on}} away from each other on [[Mount Fumaiolo]]. These springs are called ''Le Vene''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.turismo.fc.it/_vti_g2_608.aspx?rpstry=30_ |title=Tiber Springs – Mount Fumaiolo |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927020843/http://www.turismo.fc.it/_vti_g2_608.aspx?rpstry=30_ |archive-date=27 September 2013 |access-date=23 February 2019 |work=turismo.fc.it}}</ref> The springs are in a [[beech]] forest {{convert|1268|m|abbr=on}} above [[sea level]]. During the 1930s, [[Benito Mussolini]] had an antique [[marble]] Roman column built at the point where the river rises, inscribed <small>QUI NASCE IL FIUME SACRO AI DESTINI DI ROMA</small> ("Here is born the river / sacred to the destinies of Rome"). An [[eagle]] is on the top of the column, part of its [[fascist symbolism]]. The first miles of the Tiber run through [[Valtiberina]] before entering Umbria.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tuscanyfarmholiday.net/tuscany-tours/tevere-monte-fumaiolo.php |title=Tuscany tours – the origin of the Tiber River |work=Farm Holidays Le Ceregne |access-date=23 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100511054240/http://www.tuscanyfarmholiday.net/tuscany-tours/tevere-monte-fumaiolo.php |archive-date=11 May 2010}}</ref>
