Two new cavities found buried in the archives of the CSM

Two new cavities found buried in the archives of the Southern Speleological Center - C.S.M.

Two cavities that we have known about but had no survey drawings of, have popped up from the dusty archives of Clemente Esposito, engineer, and president of the Southern Speleological Center.

They deal with two underground tufo quarries that were discovered more than thirty years ago during construction of the Naples crosstown expressway.
They are located beneath the area of the the via Pietro Castellino bridge, and from the morphology of the area it is believed that the two hollowed out caverns make up part of a complex of quarried tufo caves that originally were part of a veritable swiss cheese of ancient underground quarries in the area. The smaller of the two cavities was filled in during the digging of the tunnels for the expressway, while the larger one is still intact and reported in our cavity database under C0157.
As we pointed out earlier, we have gotten the survey drawings from Clemente and hopefully when we can get around to it we will digitize them and add them to the Napoliunderground site.

What can we add . . . Clemente and his archive are a bottomless well, a veritable gold mine of information!
