In the middle of nowhere, the giant's tomb owes its name to the fact that popular tradition believed it to be the tomb of a giant or a Saracen warrior of noble origins. Looking at it, there do not seem to be any particular clues, but it is certainly a monument that gets noticed. Some scholars, trying to understand its use, have hypothesized that it was the tomb of a Roman patrician. The most accredited opinion is that it is a cetotaph, that is, a funerary monument in memory of a character who was buried elsewhere.
