A slow walk of 200 million years long
To leave those traces were the creatures
That lived in Earth for the longest time
The great reptiles that, in past's shadow
have invented social and parental links.
Dinosaurs, in the end, become extinct
But they did not disappear at all
Their fossil remains, results of bizarre
Physical-Chemical processes
are a statement of an
extraordinary existence
that made them unconditioned protagonists
of the whole animal world for
tens million years
In Italy,
due to particular geological conditions
no one has ever found a clear and
relevant traces of their ancient presence
But now a great discovery:
into Rovereto's mountains, in the province
of Trento, within rocks and marbles
already describes by Dante in his
"Divina Commedia", many dinosaurs have
grazed and hunt, so these mythological
creatures finally can join
Italy's history.
At now, 130 traces were found, belong
to about 30 creatures,
of two and four footed animals,
of 1/2 tons weight and herbivorous.
They were all migrating from
south to north in about one week.
Other traces will be found by the diggings
programmed by Natural Science Museum of
Trento and Rovereto.
