| A0004 - Lokvica - Cavern-chapel with an inscription |
| Text description |
A valley behind Nad Logem Hill hides a very interesting cavern-chapel with an interesting inscription: "IVI S'ACQUETA L'ALMA SBIGOTTITA". The verse is taken from a poem by the famous Italian poet Francesco Petrarka. In the English language the verse could be translated as "Here one finds a moment of peace amid the horrors of war".
After the fall of San Michele on 12th August 1916 the Quota 212 or "Nad Logem" was taken by the units of the Italian Infantry Brigade "Lombardia". The quota has been used during the Seventh, Eight and Nineth Isonzo Battles as a starting point for the attacks on Cerje (Veliki Hrib – Veliki Hribak) and Pecinka.
The inscription above the entrance to the cavern reflects a sense of security which the soldiers had, as they entered into this underground shelter. |
| Message transcription |
IVI S'ACQUETA
L'ALMA SBIGOTTITA |
| Message interpretation |
| "Canzoniere del Petrarca - canto CXXIX" Se in solitaria piaggia, rivo o fonte, se 'nfra duo poggi siede ombrosa valle, ivi s'acqueta l'alma sbigottita; e come Amor l'envita, or ride or piange, or teme or s'assecura... |
| Translation of message interpretation |
|
| Location description |
| The cavern is situated on the left of the Miren-Opatje selo road in a large valley, shortly after a tarmaced turning for Volkovnjak. |
| Condition |
| The inscription and the arched entrance to the cavern are well preserved. |
