The Group activty

The most searched zones by the Group are in Liguria, Tuscany and Piedmont, and it’s in these areas that the most important explorations took place.
We can point out the discovery of Grotta degli Scogli Neri and the junction between Grotta del Buio with Arma Pollera in the Finale Ligure (Savona) area during the 60s, the discovery of Abisso Ferragosto (-509 m)in 1981 and of Ombelico del Margua in 2000 on the Marguareis massif (Cuneo), of other abysses such as Icaro (-240 m), Rene' Clergue, and the exploration of Do-It!, upper entrance of the Rocca di Tenerano complex on the Apuane Alps, that allows the exploration of the Grotta delle Fate beyond the siphons.

Other than the explorative activity the Group also works on other side activities that constitute the colourful and complex world of speleology. Activities such as the Ligurian Speleological Cadastre that comprehends data from all the caves on the region, the scientific research (that varies from archaeological to bio speleological studies and caves monitoring) possible also thanks to regional funds, the cooperation with Alpinsimo Giovanile (Juvenile Alpinism) of CAI and divulgation of speleology and of all the environmental issues linked to the underground world through pictures instalments and slide shows.

In occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Group foundation in 2006, the Speleological Group celebrated this event by organizing the 6th Ligurian Speleological Congress and the first Speleological Movies Cinema festival (A Fil di Terra)to promote the speleological activity and underline its beautifulness.

In 2008 the Group, in collaboration with Amici dell'Acquario di Genova, was able to organize the Second Festival of Speleological Documentary - A Fil di Terra.
