This hand dug well \u00a0is 36 meters deep (over 118 feet) and consists of two parts merged: the first larger one, has a circular cross section with an average diameter of 3.4 meters. The second smaller one, has a rectangular section of 60cm x 80cm sides and has the typical Etruscan “pedarole,” the point marked on the side walls to allow the descent and ascent.<\/p>\n
Throughout the year the well is open, and during the Christmas period\u00a0it hosts a Nativity seen\u00a0“The Nativity in the Well<\/b>” that changes every year: a\u00a0traditional and charming depiction of the Nativity\u00a0with mechanized characters and suggestive settings.<\/p>\n
Since 2023, the entire archaeological complex has been included in the Global Network of Water Museums of the\u00a0UNESCO-IHP<\/strong> programme. This is because for over 25 centuries, the site has been (and it is still again) witness to a constant activity and research for water conservation.<\/p>\n
