Fossil Dunes of Massenzatica Reserve
This area, covered in dunes running in a North-South direction, is recognised by archaeologist as being one of the former coastlines of the Adriatic during the Etruscan period.
Generally known as Monticelli, the area consists of dunes six to eight metres or more high, which stand above the surrounding plain. This particular environment is inhabited by foxes and various kinds of rodents.
