: The Donnavita Cave, a name given by surveyors for the sole purpose of distinguishing it from the Monte Nero Cave at an altitude of 1900, was so defined for the presence of numerous specimens of Tanaceto or in jargon Donnavita from which a typical liqueur was obtained, is a very suggestive cavity. It is a cave, which extends for tens of meters, inside a part of the eruptive fracture presumably attributed to the er. 1566 (at least according to the latest geological map) or to 1646 (the year of formation of Monte Nero). It is easily accessed from the terminal part of this fracture and can be reached via the coordinates or by following an old mule track (not marked) that starts from an ancient mannera near the Palombe district (marked by surveyors on Open Street Map). Immediately you enter a large, very high room that then opens onto the deep lava flow channel and then again onto another cave which is followed again by an open space enclosed between the high walls. This morphology, together with the speleothems present on the walls (very beautiful drips and remelting veils) makes it very similar to its better known sister, the Grotta degli archi on the western side. Further upstream, the long fracture offers other openings and caves, therefore it is difficult to make a correct estimate of its development. However, it is certainly not an unknown cave, at least in the past, but little known, even if it is likely that it could also be known by the shepherds of the area as the Grotta di Monte Nero (even though it is located much further downstream from the homonymous crater and relative cavity located at an altitude of about 1900 m).
