We believe it is appropriate to devote this 3rd International Symposium of Speleology to new technologies caving. The Symposium will be held in the same place where there was the 2nd Symposium in 1972: Villa Monastero in Varenna (Lake Como). The same charming rooms, surrounded by breathtaking panoramas, were also the headquarters of physics Enrico Fermi and the site of the first International Symposium of Speleology lessons on natural cave fills, organized by the brilliant young caver and patron Salvatore Dell'oca , with over 100 researchers and scholars worldwide, for most active and experienced spelunkers. This first symposium certainly laid the groundwork for the founding of the Union Internationale de Sp?l?ologie in 1965.

For the enormous contribution of the Savior and the results obtained, for his tireless work in the sole interest of Speleology, the Department of Earth Sciences "Ardito Desio", University of Milan, who had welcomed him among his students, It will grant an award to the memory of Salvatore.

The Symposium will be an opportunity to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Grotte Milano Group, one of the oldest groups of speleologists the world, still very active.
