- Fontana del Calamo - Behind the famous Ancona fountain, an ancient tank is hidden, now used as an information space where the guides will instruct you on the activity you are about to undertake as well as give you interesting information and curiosities about the history of the city’s water systems
- Ancona Piazza Stamira - Below the square there is a large cistern that still has the presence of water. Before descending underground, the guides will give you the necessary equipment and then, through a manhole cover and a short flight of stairs, you will find yourself under buildings, streets in a world of darkness, water and long-forgotten hydraulic works.

- speleological guided tour
- use of the equipment for the descent into the Cistern of Pizza Stamira
The two-hour tour begins with a rendezvous with the speleologists at the renowned Fontana del Calamo. This repurposed public space houses tales of past hydraulic ventures and curious insights about the re-emergence of the Ancona Underground chambers. The majority of the tour information will be shared in this location due to the challenging acoustics of the proceeding areas, which aren’t conducive to discussion.
Concluding the primary section, we transition towards Piazza Stamira. Upon reaching, speleologists will assist you in gearing up with boots and a helmet with a built-in light, set to journey underground. Concealed beneath this square lies a cistern spanning roughly 4000 square meters. Aided by the speleologists through a manhole, you will descend beneath the city streets. Just a few steps further and you will step into an enigmatic underground realm, marked by darkness and water.
