Tomba del Diavolino 2
Tomba del Diavolino 2 submitted by Martin_L : The 15m long roofed part of the passage (dromos). Several impressive megaliths are used. Scan of silverprint taken in 1997. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Important Etruscan Tomb dating back to the 7th century BC. The name derives from a diabolically looking figurine found inside.

Possibly it depicts Charon.
The tomb is rather impressive. The cairns' diameter is 80m. A 40m long passage (dromos) the last 15m of which are roofed leads into a square chamber with a height of 15m.
