Descrizione del servizio

The first hint of the most relevant discovery, the one of the Big Cave of Wind , took place on September 25th 1971, when Rolando Silvestri of the Italian Alpine Club Speleological Group of Ancona , through the north slope of mountain Vallemontagna, discovered a small entrance. Helped by some friends he was able to open a passage which took to a small room. The disappointment caused by the small discovery was followed by the hope for something bigger. As a matter of fact, in the small room there were many openings where a strong air came from. After a tiring work of excavation, which took a few days, they got in a narrow opening and slipped till the edge of an empty space. They threw a stone and became aware of the width and the depth of the cave. They esteemed it 100 metres big. An incredible discovery which made them enthusiastic . The marvellous Big Cave of Wind was so handed out to the admiration of men. The problem at that point were how to get into the cave and reach the bottom. Rapidly They equipped themselves and, with a new expedition, they lowered themselves into the cave later called “Abyss Ancona”. Their lights emphasised the splendour and beauty of that new environment. Minimum conditions were then realised for tourist access to the Big Cave of Wind . The opening took place on September 1st 1974; since then many tourists have kept on visiting these enchanting places where it is possible to appreciate the beauty, the splendour e the majesty of nature.
