Regolini-Galassi tomb, Etruscan burial site in Cerveteri, Italy.
The Regolini-Galassi tomb features a 37-meter corridor leading to two chambers, covered by an earth mound spanning 46 meters in diameter.
Discovered in 1836 by General Vincenzo Galassi and Alessandro Regolini, this seventh-century BCE tomb contained 327 intact artifacts from the Etruscan period.
The tomb's contents reveal connections between Etruscan society and Mediterranean civilizations through metal craftsmanship, particularly visible in the golden Large Parade Fibula.
The artifacts from this burial site are now displayed in the Vatican Museums, where visitors can explore them through digital reconstructions.
The burial chamber held a female aristocrat identified as Larthia Velthurus, accompanied by precious metals and a chariot indicating her social status.
