    A short distance from the Chiosse house, a little higher up the slope you can glimpse this beautiful Grotta dello Zoccolaro, so called in the past centuries, when it served as a shelter for pigs or sheep, also thanks to its considerable size, roughly 5 meters by 5 meters by 15 deep. We got there thanks to Francesco who created two paths, not very easy at the moment, to get there in ten minutes from the main path. Given the considerable spaciousness of the cave, it is also an excellent refuge in the case of sudden storms in that area which is quite devoid of shelter. The second name, that is Grotta del Cuore, comes from the shape of the entrance to the cave, remarkably similar to the shape of a large heart.
