Necropoli di Malignano, Etruscan necropolis in Sovicille, Italy.
The archaeological site contains numerous chamber tombs and shaft graves carved into limestone rock, featuring both burial structures and ceremonial spaces.
Archaeological excavations in 1964 by the Etruscan Foundation revealed multiple burial chambers dating from the 8th to 7th century BCE within this location.
The discovered grave goods, including Volterra ceramics and coins, demonstrate the commercial exchanges along the Merse River during the Etruscan period.
The archaeological area is managed by the Archaeological Superintendence of Tuscany and remains open for scientific research and guided visits.
A principal tomb, extending twenty meters deep into the ground, represents an advanced architectural achievement of the Etruscan civilization.
