Their name comes
from the rugged morphology of the local area and the reddish
colour of rocks. Situated in Grimaldi, at few km from Ventimiglia, at the bottom
of a cliff of red limestone. Seven ca ve s called Grotta del Costantini, Grotta dei Fanciulli,
Grotta del Florestano, Grotta del Caviglione, Barma Grande
(Barma means cave), Barma du Bausu da Ture (caves of tower
rock) and Grotta del Principe.
The burials, the typology, the richness of funeral equipment,
the artistic tracks, the presence of fossil fauna make Balzi
Rossi one of most important sites of European Superior Paleolithic. Here Homo Erectus sought refuge two hundred thousand years
ago, making use of the deep caves and vertical crevices in
the rock. The importance of this area was indicated already
in XVIII Century by De Saussure and Prince Florestano I of
Monaco. The finds are kept in National Prehistoric Museum of Balzi
Rossi, founded by Sir Thomas Hambury at the end of 1800. Housed in the museum are complex stone tools and ornaments
and fossils animals. The artistic skills of our prehistoric
ancestors are reflected in the soapstone statuettes of Venuses
(stylised figures of women used as symbols of fertility ) and
the unique depiction of the Prewalskrii Horse, carved from
rock by a hunter-cum-artist twenty thousands years ago.
Moreover archaeologists found here tracks of so-called “race of Grimaldi” with
nigger features , male skeletons and finds of a young woman, provided with
funeral equipments, everything belonging to Cromagnon specie. |
