Tomba della Pulcella, Etruscan tomb in Necropolis of Monterozzi, Italy.
The Tomb of the Maiden contains painted walls depicting banquet scenes with figures reclining on ancient couches within underground chambers.
Excavated in 1865, this late 5th century BC burial chamber represents a period of advanced artistic development in Etruscan civilization.
The wall paintings inside the tomb illustrate social gatherings and feasting customs of Etruscan nobility through detailed figurative compositions.
Visitors can access the tomb through a corridor equipped with ramps, making it the only wheelchair-accessible burial chamber in the necropolis.
The central niche features Tuscan columns and a Gorgon mask, though some elements were affected by vandalism incidents in 1963.
