The Rock Drawings in Valcamonica, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Italy, represent one of the world’s largest collections of prehistoric rock art. Spanning over 8,000 years, these engravings—etched into rock surfaces—depict scenes of hunting, farming, rituals, and daily life, offering a window into ancient human culture. This vast open-air gallery highlights the artistic and historical evolution of early societies in a striking natural setting.
