Many pieces were found in the northern section of the Crocifisso del Tufo Necropolis. Funeral elements and objects, such as <strong>Bucchero<\/strong>, the ancient famous Etruscan black pottery.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the rooms there are many objects that were recovered during the Porano necropolis digging, one of the small boroughs near Orvieto. The tombs are of high quality and some have wall paintings, a rare element at least in the Northern inland Etruscan area. In a close environment is shown the reconstruction of the two <strong>Golini tumbs<\/strong>, discovered at the end of the Nineteenth Century. For obvious reasons, the paintings of the two tombs have been moved to a safer room, in order to better preserve them.<\/p>\n<p>Recently a new area inside the museum exposes some important etruscan pieces found in the archaeological site of Campo della Fiera (where it&#8217;s believed to be located the Fanum Voltumnae, the most important etruscan sanctuary).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1777983926596-ab33908d-36e6-2&#8243;
