Walking along via S. Egidio, you will find the beginning of this short but very suggestive path inside a "via cava" (roads dug through the tuff that connected the bottom of the valley with the territories above and, in other areas, were also used to drain excess water from agricultural land). This via cava is full of caves dug directly into the tuff, probably used as stables or cellars to store wine or food.

Santa Maria di Monte Casoli is a church located in the Monte Casoli area, in the municipality of Bomarzo, in the province of Viterbo. This place has a rich and fascinating history, dating back centuries. The church dates back to the 11th-12th century, but was renovated in the 16th century. Under the current structure are the remains of an ancient triapse rock church, dug into the tuff, accessible through a narrow tunnel. It is believed that this church can be linked to a document from the Monastery of San Silvestro in Capite from the 10th century, which mentions an oratory dedicated to Santa Maria located right in Monte Casoli.

Due to its strategic features and good defensibility, the area was inhabited since the early Middle Ages. The medieval town of Corviano had a castle and a church. Along the ridge overlooking the stream, there are the rooms of numerous underground houses carved into the peperino. They consist of two or three rooms and are supplied with air through large windows cut into the rock face on the outside.

The path is accessed starting from the parking lot with paid entry.
