Tomba della Pulcella, Etruscan tomb in Necropolis of Monterozzi, Italy.

Tomba della Pulcella is an Etruscan burial chamber decorated with painted walls depicting dining scenes and reclining figures in underground rooms. The tomb features corridors and chambers with detailed figurative compositions throughout its layout.

The burial chamber dates to the late 5th century BC and was discovered in 1865, marking a period of artistic advancement in Etruscan culture. The painted decorations demonstrate the refined techniques they had developed by that era.

The painted walls show how Etruscan nobles spent their time, depicting banquets and gatherings that reveal their social customs and values. The scenes reveal that feasting together held special meaning in their society and shaped how they wanted to be remembered.

The tomb is reached by a long dromos, the sloping entrance corridor typical of Etruscan chamber tombs. The single rectangular chamber measures about 3.24 by 3.17 metres and is 2.43 metres high, with a pitched roof. A burial recess shaped like a small temple occupies the back wall.

In 1963 thieves detached fragments of the paintings, including the head of a servant that later surfaced in a German museum and was voluntarily returned to the Museo archeologico nazionale di Tarquinia. The face of the little maid who gave the tomb its name was destroyed in the same theft.
