Tips

Patrizia Crisolini Malatesta

May 15, 2021

Information taken from the web:
Ripa Maiale (313 m a.s.l.) is a volcanic cliff composed of ignimbrite and trachyte, which originated at the end of the Pliocene with the birth of the Tolfa mountains. Topographically this vertical wall is the final term of the Palano maquis. The area is geologically very interesting due to the presence of marine fossils (bivalve molluscs such as pectinidae and oysters) from the Miocene and volcanic breccias containing leucite crystals. The cliff has natural caves and a perennial source of water, elements that favored human settlement from the end of the Middle Palaeolithic.
