Santuario di Montetosto, 2017

In the magic land of Etruria (Italy), 43 kilometers from Rome,there's the ancient town of Cerveteri (the old Caere). Nearby, there is "Montetosto" a flat land measuring almost 4 acres. In his fields Mr. F.T. grows wheat, artichokes, pumpkins and beans. Over than his farm he holds tree very important Etruscan monuments. 1) The tumulus of Montetosto (VII c.B.C.) with one or more graves or tombs. One of the largest tumuli in Etruria, measuring 63 m of diameter; the first grave has 3 rooms. 2) An important road (I am working on it) connecting Caere with its harbours, one of which is Pyrgi. It is almost 11 m large, with two traffic lane and lay-by for carts e.t.c. (VII.VI c.B.C.). 3) A shrine or temple, perhaps 54 m in wide, built on order of Delfy's oracle because of the killing of thousands greek war prisoners (540-535 B.C.).
