    Here is the entrance to the Santa Barbara tunnel, part of a complex underground system consisting of seven levels connected by vertical excavations called fornelli, once accessed by wooden ladders. Excavation work was carried out using mines and, later, mechanical compressed-air drilling, introduced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
