Grotta del Romito
One of Italy’s most important Palaeolithic sites, with its famous aurochs engraving.
The Grotta del Romito, in Papasidero, is one of Italy’s most important Palaeolithic sites. It preserves a rock engraving of a majestic bovid (Bos primigenius), in the Franco-Cantabrian style, dated between 14,000 and 12,000 years ago. The site records human presence from the Gravettian to the Neolithic and has yielded burials of Homo sapiens, including a child laid on red ochre.
