Abstract
Fieldwork co-ordinated by the University of Ferrara, has recently recognised a rock surface with paintings and engravings in Molise. The rock art site, a rockshelter, was initially discovered by a local inhabitant, Guido Lastoria, in the nearby village of Civitanova del Sannio in 2011. The shelter opens in a rocky promontory along the northern bench of the Serrata valley and is crossed by the tratturo Lucera- Castel di Sangro, an ancient path that connects the inner part of Abruzzo with the Gargano area, in Puglia. The authors of this paper try to add a little to our knowledge about the rock art in central and southern Italy by introducing this newly discovered site.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
