I have had the following enquiry from Lorenzo Grassi in Italy:
[quote author=Lorenzo Grassi]
Dear friends,
I am an Italian researcher who is studying the history of an important cave near Rome.
The cave is called "Voragine di Monte Spaccato" (also Mons Scissus") and is located in the municipality of Tivoli. It's a big slit about a hundred meters deep.
I found references about an English explorer (archaeologist?) who in 1867 or 1877 tried to go down to the bottom of the cave with a kind of metal cage.
But we could not find the name of this ancient British explorer.
Can you help us?
Kind regards,
Lorenzo Grassi

Thanks
