In many municipalities there are facilities to keep the snow in winter turning it into ice. Normally it was the stratta of mountain villages that catlysed the ice trade.
In the case of Orte, however, a well was inserted into the interweaving tunnels under the Riuniti Hospitals of Orte.
The hole is well preserved and there is an inscription with the name of the craftsman, the date of the end of the work, the intended use of the structure and the name of the buyer.
The snow was conserved to be used for the preservation of foods of the hospitals.
