Roccavivara – Santa Maria del Canneto
The remains of a Roman country villa can be visited on the right-hand
banks of the river Trigno, next to the beautiful Benedictine monastery
of Santa Maria del Canneto. The residential part of the complex
preserves three rooms paved with priceless polychrome mosaics from the
3rd century B.C., depicting geometric and figurative mosaics, with
birds, flowers and plants. The working part (pars rustica) is divided
up into several sections, designed to store and process crops. It is
still possible to see the wine cellar, with around 50 dolia (large jars
stored in the ground, designed to contain wine and oil, like the nearby
tanks), the pressing room and the furnace for pottery production.
