Ne stands for Nae, meaning "ship", and refers to the shape of Monte Zatta, the highest mountain of the area at an elevation of 1,404 metres (4,606 ft). It adjoins the valley of Graveglia, the ancient realm of Garibald, the king of the Lombards who fled from Lombardy in 673.[3]
The family of the founder of the modern, united Italian state, Giuseppe Garibaldi, originated in the nearby valley of Graveglia. A monument to Garibaldi is located in Conscenti, one of Ne's 16 frazione, or hamlets,[3] and the comune's seat of government. Most of these frazione originated as castles built during and after the tenth century as defenses against Saracen raids.
Ne's landscape is naturally partitioned by the bottom of the Graveglia valley, the Graveglia river, and the high pastures and woods.[3]
