From Lake Iseo to the north, along the Oglio River extends the Valcamonica.
Valcamonica takes the name of the ancient people of the Camuni who lived in this region for a very long period of 6,500 years and who left us numerous testimonies of the their life.

The ancient engravings were discovered at the beginning of the last century by the Brescia geographer Laeng, later it was realized that in this beautiful valley the rock drawings are found everywhere.
In the eighty kilometers of the valley there are more than 300,000 engravings. A really huge amount.

On the territory there are more parks that host the ancient signs of civilization but are also found in countries such as in Paspardo.
The National Park of Rock Engravings of Naquane is located in Capo di Ponte and is the first and most important European park. You can admire 104 engraved rocks and menhirs.

The rocks in the area lent themselves very well to engravings and the 'pitots', the little men are found in abundance. They are absolutely fascinating, certain they seem to be made by children. Men with straight arms and legs that look like wooden picks, animals, lots of animals with majestic horns.
The idea that tens of thousands of years ago, people already drew because they wanted to communicate something to others, is intriguing.

You can see knights, warriors, hunting scenes. Even the houses were drawn in the rock and then birds, oxen, wagons and weapons.
Our ancestors wanted to depict the world in which they lived, fortunately.

Thanks to their talent we can understand something more than their lives and imagine ourselves for a moment to hear their voices as they dedicate themselves to their everyday habits.
