Italian term or phrase: anfiteatro morenico
La posizione privilegiata del complesso, posto alla sommità di un anfiteatro morenico che si affaccia sul versante meridionale del Lago di Garda, ne ha sancito da sempre la vocazione a luogo difensivo.

Tha dictionary gives me "snout" for anfiteatro morenico, but I was wondering whether there was a term which describes this type of hill better .... end moraine?
