셈프로니아노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 협곡

Via Cava di San Rocco는 이 지역에서 가장 인상적인 에트루리아 경로 중 하나입니다. 이 길은 완전히 응회암에 새겨져 있으며, 수직 벽은 최대 20미터 높이에 달하고 양치류와 이끼로 무성한 식물로 덮여 있습니다. 이 경로는 Lente 강 계곡을 위쪽 고원과 연결합니다. 등반을 따라 고대 물 수집 시스템과 바위에 새겨진 계단을 만날 수 있습니다. 위쪽 끝에 도달하면 Sorano 마을과 Orsini 요새의 가장 상징적인 전망을 즐길 수 있는 San Rocco 전망 구역에 도착합니다. 벽의 서늘한 미기후로 인해 바닥이 습하고 미끄러울 수 있습니다.

Sorano is a small medieval town built on tuff rocks in the province of Grosseto/Tuscany.

The Vie Cave, sometimes also called Cavoni, form a suggestive road system from the Etruscan era that connects various settlements and necropolises between Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano. They mainly develop between steep tuff rock walls, some of which exceed twenty meters in height. In Roman times, these streets became part of a road network connected to the main trunk of the Via Clodia, an ancient road that connected Rome to Saturnia, passing through the city of Tuscania and branching off from the Via Cassia in Lazio. The Via Cava di San Giuseppe is one of the most evocative in the area, as well as the longest, leading up to Pitigliano. This street is associated with the traditional torchlight procession of San Giuseppe, which is held on March 19th. The link between ancient pagan rites and the dark atmosphere along the route, which still persists today, dates back to Christian times, when small niches with painted sacred images, known as "devil chasers", were dug to protect travellers.
