sfinge-ritagliata-440x330 On April 15, in the Natural Archaeological Park of Vulci, it was inaugurated and opened to the public a new sector within the Osteria necropolis, one of the most important burial areas of the Etruscan Vulci. Inside the area, next to important known archaeological monuments, it is now finally possible to visit other important recently discovered archaeological remains, such as the “Tomb of the Sphinx” and the “Tomb of the Silver Hands”; the excavation of the tomb led to the discovery of a rich set of pottery and precious ornaments and a pair of hands in silver and gold lamina of a precious statue made of different materials.

The new route is one of the results of the fruitful cooperation between the Soprintendenza Archeologica del Lazio e dell’Etruria Meridionale, the Lazio Region and local municipalities finalized to enhance the City System of Etruria and promote the important cultural heritage of the region.
