Naturalistic and Archaeological Area, Umbrian-Etruscan Tombs in Vallone di San Lorenzo in the Municipality of Montecchio

In the 1980s, in loc. Fosso di San Lorenzo, a very large Umbrian-Etruscan necropolis (dating back between 6th and 4th century BC) was discovered. It is made of 3,000 tombs which represent the evidence of the presence of a big settlement - that has not been found yet - near the river Tiber, where trading activities between the Etruscans and Italics were carried out (probably the town of Copio). The area of the necropolises has been recently interested by enhancement measures which gave the opportunity to create trails, services, and documentation material. The finds are on display in Tenaglie Antiquarium.
