  • In Tora and Piccilli there is a fossil trail with the "Devil's footprints"

    Two trails with strange footprints. 58 precisely. Some in zigzags and some straight. Of human characteristics and sizes, but not exactly. And on a block of tuff at the foot of the northwestern side of the extinct volcano of Roccamonfina.
