Visogliano

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Visogliano (in Slovene Vižovlje) is a small agricultural and residential village in the scattered municipality of Duino-Aurisina. It consists of a historic nucleus of houses in Karst style built along the railway and a series of more recent constructions, located mostly along the provincial road 32 connecting Sistiana and Malchina. Visogliano is first mentioned in the Duino urbarium of 1578 under the name Vižoulje (an uncertain toponym, although a link with the sixteenth-century toponym Cisogliano, which indicated Sistiana, is likely), though in the 1970s the so-called Visogliano shelter was brought to light in a small doline along the cart track Sistiana – Slivia, where the oldest animal and human bone remains (Homo heidelbergensis) of the Trieste area were found, dating back between 600,000 and 400,000 years ago.
