Italy shares Mont Blanc (highest in the Alps) with France and Monte Rosa (second highest in the Alps) with Switzerland. The highest range which is only in Italian territory is probably Bernina.

Kind of...Cervino, a.k.a Matterhorn, is the 3rd highest peak in the Alps and, as well as Mt. Blanc and M.te Rosa, its top is shared with Switzerland. Bernina is the highest totaly italian mountain, but the other 3 have thei top in italian territory (whatever a border may mean in the mountains...)
