The Giovanni peak is about 500 m high mountain in the northern part of the West Antarctic Alexander Island . At the southern end of Debussy Heights, it rises above the Mozart Piedmont Glacier .
Aerial photographs of the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) were used by the British geographer Derek Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960 for mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain in 1961 after the opera Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from 1787.
