In Alonte, on the hill where the ancient parish church of San Biagio stood, there is a series of rock tombs, excavated along the edge of the outcropping rock. Currently seven can be identified; at the end of the eighteenth century Maccà had nine [Maccà, 1813, Ill, p.18]; some have come to see eleven of them, and they have a dating that places them between the 4th and 6th centuries; in the Lombard period.
The burials are divided into two groups about fifty meters away from each other. They are similar to those of San Cassiano and Barbarano, but on average larger. Even the chronological references and the social context of their construction are the same, as in the case of Barbarano, and it is not possible to establish the relationship between the location of the tombs and the proximity of a church.
A peculiarity of Alonte's burials, which has always struck the curiosity of scholars, is the channels that flank the tombs along the side towards the mountain and which Maccà already interpreted as "an excavation that seems to have been done with the aim of rainwater has its own drainage and cannot penetrate inside [Maccà, 1813, III, p. 18].
