It is an artificial mound, 60 metres in diameter, made of earth and stone, covering two tombs built of pietra serena blocks on the rear side (Tomb 1, the earlier, and Tomb 2, the later).<br \/>The front of the mound is distinguished by a spectacular stepped terrace decorated with sculptural groups\u2014lionesses fighting warriors\u2014and architectural elements in the Orientalising style, such as monumental palmettes.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Etruscans, art was an integral part of life: a language that united beauty, religion, and power. The sculptures adorning their monuments reflect a refined and international taste, in which the \u201cbeauty from the East\u201d merged with local tradition. Lions, palmettes, human figures, and geometric motifs reveal an aesthetic deeply attentive to symbolism and balance, in constant dialogue with Greece and Asia Minor.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within this context stands Tomb 1 of Tumulus II (c. 580 BC), a monumental architectural project composed of seven chambers with corbelled (pseudo-vaulted) ceilings, now largely collapsed. Access was through an entrance corridor (dromos) and a stone portal with pillars and architrave. At the base of the mound ran a circular stone drum, both structural\u2014counteracting the weight of the mound\u2014and decorative.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"awb-gallery-wrapper
