    impressive path thru the vulcanic park; all sorts of coloured minerals and sulvur smell. "Valle Diavolo".
    The denomination "biancane" is a recurring toponym in Tuscany, indicating places where, in large areas, rocks or minerals of a dominant white color emerge, which contrast with the surrounding greenery of the woods or agricultural crops.
    In fact, in addition to the Biancane di Monterotondo, so named due to the vast outcrops of jasper completely bleached by geothermal fluids, the "Crete Senesi" are also known by the name of Biancane, made up of large mounds of marine Pliocene clays, the surface of which is white due to the presence of extensive crystalline efflorescences of a mineral, thenardite (sodium sulphate).
