Necropoli del Vallone di San Lorenzo 2027

This Umbro-Etruscan necropolis was first excavated in 1855 by Domenico Golini, and work continued in the mid twentieth century and later by the archaeological superintendency, with more recent excavations in 2017 and 2019. Around 50 chamber tombs have been discovered to date, and a remarkable tomb built from travertine blocks was discovered in 2019, along with several other tombs of different types in the most recent seasons. We will continue to explore near the most recently discovered tombs in
