    Tips

    The cave of San Michele is immersed in a natural cavity located on a hill not far from Lake Varano, in the municipality of Cagnano Varano.

      In 1975 the Institute of Anthropology and Human Paleontology of the University of Siena carried out studies which led to the localization of residues of a deposit containing tools from the Upper Paleolithic which allow us to document the practice of hunting a type of wild horse, now extinct. which would also lead one to think that, at the time, the Cagnano area was characterized by grasslands in the flat areas that today form the backdrops of the Varano lagoon.



      Under the floor of the cave there are certainly other finds that could also date back to the Middle Palaeolithic, while there are presumably no finds from the Neolithic period given the discovery of numerous fragments of ceramic worked at the entrance to the cave.
