Gonfienti

The ancient Etruscan settlement covers extensive grounds with parallel streets, intersecting lanes, and foundations of residential buildings at the foot of Calvana Mountains.

Discovered in the 1990s during infrastructure works, the site contains remains from the sixth century BC, including a large residential complex of 1400 square meters.

The excavated residential structure features rooms arranged around a central courtyard with a pebble-decorated well, following Etrusco-Italic architectural patterns.

The archaeological area contains multiple sections open for research, with evidence of everyday life including kitchenware, cooking vessels, and a bell-shaped oven.

Analysis of animal bones found at the site indicates residents maintained a diet of cattle and domestic pigs, supplemented by wild game from nearby areas.
