Pietrera Tumulus
The Pietrera Tumulus is a monumental Etruscan burial mound at Vetulonia in Tuscany, built in the 7th century BCE. More than 60 metres across, it covers a stone chamber with a central pillar and a corbelled dome. Fragments of stone statues of mourners found in it are among the earliest large-scale sculptures known from Etruria.
