Giuseppe PICCIOLI

January 29, 2024

Cycling

From the main road, near the Carmelite convent of Castellina, a small road branches off sharply uphill (indication) which leads to this Etruscan settlement. From the small road (signposted) you then turn left onto a dirt road for about seventy metres. Afterwards, on the left, there is the necropolis (be careful because the crossroads are not indicated!). The Necropolis doesn't give you any idea of what it could have been, but there is the charm of knowing that they are tombs that are around 2,800 years old.
