Tra Caere e Pyrgi. Nuove ricerche in località Montetosto
he site of Montetosto is located 4 km to the west of Caere, along the monumental road that connected the
Etruscan city to its main port at Pyrgi. Until 1962 the site was known only for the visible tumulus – presently
the largest known in Etruria – excavated by Raniero Mengarelli between 1924 and 1929.
A short season of geophysical survey was conducted in March 2018 in close collaboration with the Soprintendenza
Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio per l’area metropolitana di Roma, la provincia di Viterbo
