Room 25 - The Necropolis of Poggio Pinci

The room, with its beautiful model, presents the Necropolis of Poggio Pinci, discovered in 1957 a few kilometers from Asciano. Excavated in several phases until the 1980s, the necropolis consists of 9 chamber tombs carved into travertine, dating from the 5th to the 1st century BC. On display in the room are the grave goods from Tomb I, where two cups stand out, one in black-figure pottery and a very elegant one in Aretine ceramic. In the background, the various funerary urns from Tomb II are arranged as they were found during the discovery.
