Description

The Grotta Romanelli is located in Castro, not far from that of Zinzulusa, with the entrance partially blocked by a breach containing fossil bones.


The cave, at almost a century since its discovery (PE Stasi), still retains most of its on-site storage (red and brown soils dating back to 70.000-12.000 years BC) in which both prehistoric man and animals, from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic, left traces of their attendance.


The Grotta is considered one of the most important findings of the Italian prehistory. In addition to the fine lithic objects which are characteristic of the cave (Industry romanelliana), major graffiti adorns the walls (Bos primigenius, Deer, figures and fusiform and Vulval shapes: Paleolithic Parietal Art). The Grotta can be considered an important spot for the Paleolithic man in Italy. Here it is possible to admire, the first local graffiti revealing a mythology based on sexual symbolism.
