Rock Cut Tomb in Toscana. Etruscan rock cut tombs dating to 6th Century BCE

 

13 june 2019 : access difficult, on private land overgrown by vegetation, accessed with a local archeologist who led me from area to area on the extensive site of the necropolis (2 main parts) and of the ancient city (near the ruins of the later church San Pietro)
