   Necropolis of Tarquinia

   Tarquinia was the most important Etruscan city in the 7th century BC. and it is famous above all for the Monterozzi Necropolis, which beneath its green mounds holds over two hundred painted tombs from the pre-Roman era. Let yourself be guided to discover the secrets of the most beautiful and fascinating tombs: the Tomb of the Leopards, with its banquet scenes showing the incredible freedom of Etruscan women, the Tomb of Hunting and Fishing, which shows the pastimes preferred by the aristocracy of the time, the tomb of the Warrior, where the games present in the funeral rites are represented (including dances, fights between boxers and fights that inspired the gladiatorial games).
