Marmitte dei Giganti Park
Phenomena of glacial origin such as smooth rocks, furrows, small basins, but mainly "marmitte dei giganti", deep pits or potholes hollowed out in the rocks from the water of the melting glaciers. The word "marmitta" is an appropriate word to indicate the circular cavities which the farmers always found in the woods: the shape is like that of a pot and the dimensions make one think of giants. <<
