Rocca Monfina: an extinct volcano (3,200 ft) located in northern Campania, near Teano (CE). There are several trails along the edge of the volcano which preserve prehistoric human footprints. Known locally as “Devil’s Trails” because in earlier times they were thought to have supernatural origins, it is now concluded that they were the footpaths left in newly formed volcanic ash by early human ancestors about 385,000 years ago. Measuring the stride of the walkers revealed that they probably stood about 1.5 meters in height. The existence of a handprint also suggests that they still needed to steady themselves with their hands while walking distances.
