Extraordinary discovery at the Unesco site of Tarquinia, where archaeologists have found a new painted chamber tomb: the paintings on the walls show dance and workshop scenes. The discovery dates back to late 2022, although it was announced by the Viterbo Superintendency only in the last few hours.

It all begins during an inspection by the Soprintendenza following the opening of some cavities in the ground: the exceptional discovery took place in the Etruscan necropolis of Monterozzi, near Tarquinia, where archaeospeleologists, exploring those cavities, confirmed that they were tombs already visited by clandestine diggers in the past. However, one of the tombs concealed a secret that was still intact: the collapse of a wall had revealed a deeper burial chamber decorated with extraordinarily vividly colored painted scenes.
