It is located in a limestone cliff, in the right bank of the river Vero, in the vicinity of the small caves of Gallinero.
The measurements of the cave are 19.5 metres wide in the entrance and 12.5 metres deep.
The rock shelter preserves schematic paintings in red, black and white, located in six sectors, but of irregular distribution along the cave walls.
Between the representations appear two anthropomorphic draws and a “pectiniforme” one (a quadruped animal, schematic, that seems a comb), another anthropomorphic figure and a quadruped followed by bars in black, (behind the quadruped are visible a series of lines that seem to indicate a numerical representation), three quadrupeds in black and a anthropomorphous with arms as handle, six fingerings, two bovids, a schematic canid in black and a schematic male deer.
Also there exist prehistoric traces of crosses, seemingly done with a metallic tool.
