Monterosa is Italian taken from the name of the Monte Rosa, a mountain massif in the eastern part of the Pennine Alps, between Italy's and Switzerland's. Monte Rosa is the second highest mountain in the Alps and western Europe, after Mont Blanc.
The division was manned by Alpini troops, which were the mountain troops of the Kingdom of Italy, and later the Italian Republic.
