The Pozzo del Merro is a karst sinkhole located in the countryside north of Rome, between the Cornicolani Mountains in Macchia del Barco and Macchia di Gattaceca, in the municipality of Sant'Angelo Romano.
According to initial studies by the University of Tor Vergata, the cavity is 392 meters deep, which is the maximum limit the measurements have reached. The probes launched since its discovery have not reached bottom, and the studies continue.
This sinkhole has always been known to the locals. In 1890 it appears in the description of a tourist itinerary that leads from Rome to Sant'Angelo Romano, and is described as "a kind of chasm, at the bottom of which extends a small lake and whose very steep sides are covered with trees". sotterraneidiroma.it/sites/pozzo-del-merro
