Information
Description
Visit to the Via dei Sepolcri, the Excavations of the City and the Isidoro Falchi Civic Museum.
Vetulonia was one of the richest and most refined cities of the Etruscan civilization. Thanks to its control over the mining basin of the Metalliferous Hills, its founders became among the most capable metallurgists of the time and, in particular, experts and renowned connoisseurs of goldsmith production, of which many examples are preserved today in the local Museum.
The tour, in the company of an expert archaeologist and guide, will begin with a visit to the Isidoro Falchi Civic Museum, divided into seven rooms that tell the story of the city and the territory from its origins, in the Villanovan Age (IX-VIII Century BC) to the Hellenistic and Roman times with findings from Costa Murata and Poggiarello Renzetti.
The tour will continue along the Via dei Sepolcri, outside the current historic center, to visit some of the most beautiful monumental tombs now preserved from the Etruscan civilization.
