Colle della Rho part of France–Italy border
The Colle della Rho (in Italian) or Col de la Roue (in French) is a mountain col at 2,541 metres (8,337 ft), at the border between the massif des Cerces and the Cottian Alps.History
The Colle della Rho, during antiquity, was one of the most frequented connections between Susa Valley and Maurienne; close to it some Roman coins have been found. 
From the Middle Ages on, several battles and skirmish occurred on the pass, which was located at first on the border between Dauphiné and Savoy (up to the Peace of Utrecht, 1713) and later, from 1860 on, between France and Italy. The last fights near the col were connected to the Italian invasion of France (June 1940).Geography
The pass is located on the border between France and Italy. It connects, from South to North, Bardonecchia (Italy) to Modane (France). It consists in a wide saddle between the Gran Bagna (3,083 m, SW of the pass) and the Roc de Jany (2,657 m, East), a satellite summit of the Punta Nera (3,047 m).
