The Signorino road, of Etruscan origin, is a deep underground passage carved into the tuff that connects the Signorino district (named after a 15th-century family) to Porta Faul. It winds between high tuff walls that reach 12 meters at their highest points. It is also known as Cava S. Antonio (St. Anthony's Cave) after a shrine dedicated to the saint located on one of its walls. Along the road there is a cave called the Devil 's Cave , and some legends tell of strange nocturnal processions of Lucumoni (ancient Etruscan priests). For this reason, especially during the Middle Ages, crosses were carved on the tuff walls to protect travelers from the devil. The shrine dedicated to St. Anthony may have served this purpose.

Viterbo lived its period of major splendor and power in the 13th century when it was chosen as the seat of the papacy instead of Rome, where powerful warring families made life too dangerous. Eight different popes lived in Viterbo making it is similar to Vatican City and Avignon in France. The longest papal conclave in history happened here from 1 December 1268 to 1 September 1271. Following Pope Clement IV's death, infighting between cardinals and political pressure led to a 34-month deadlock. The cardinals were locked up cum clave (hence the word conclave) inside the palace’s large Conclave Hall. In desperation the town’s population, who were feeding them and their entourages, eventually reduced the cardinals’ food and wine supplies, trying to speed up the election. Time wore on and they finally decided to remove the roof of the palace: in order to help the Holy Spirit come down and illuminate them, it was quipped. That worked.

The Anfiteatro Romano in Sutri is an impressive archaeological monument carved entirely out of tuff. Built between the late 2nd century B.C. and the early 1st century AD, this amphitheater represents the heart of the Sutri identity. It has an elliptical shape and could accommodate about 7000 spectators. The amphitheater is divided into three rows of seats, separated for different social classes. There are two entrances: one overlooking Via Cassia, and the other, higher up, with a covered walkway. The amphitheater was partially excavated between 1835 and 1838. There are only two other amphitheaters in the world that are completely carved into the rock, in Cagliari and Leptis Magna (Libya).

The Tagliata Etrusca, also known as Strada Signorino, is a historic cellar path in Viterbo, carved deep into tuff. This road of Etruscan origin winds between high tuff walls that are up to 12 meters high in some places. Surrounded by ancient trees, it is home to the Devil's Cave, with legends of nightly processions of ancient Etruscan priests. Although there are several theories about the function of these roads, it is generally accepted that they served as religious routes due to their proximity to sacred areas and necropolises.
