Tips from the Community
Walking along via S. Egidio, you will find the beginning of this short but very suggestive path inside a "via cava" (roads dug through the tuff that connected the bottom of the valley with the territories above and, in other areas, were also used to drain excess water from agricultural land). This via cava is full of caves dug directly into the tuff, probably used as stables or cellars to store wine or food.
