Palazzone Necropolis and Volumni Hypogeum;;The Necropoli del Palazzone is located today in a well-equipped archaeological area;with visit pathways and an Antiquarium that hosts some finds and thematic displays of the Etruscans’ daily life.The cemetery;located 7 kilometers to the southwest of Perugia—in the modern suburb of Ponte San Giovanni—was connected with a settlement supervising a portion of the Tiber Valley below.It consists of about 200 chamber-like tombs excavated in the natural soil.Inside the necropolis;the Volumni Hypogeum;distinguished for the complexity of its internal arrangement and decorative commitment;belonged to the “Volumni”;i.e.the rich Velimna family.The sepulcher—one of the most significant examples of the funerary architecture of the Hellenistic Age—reproducing the Roman Domus’ canonic disposition of rooms;housed;inside the main body called “tablinum”;seven cinerary depositions;all kept inside urns;whose lids reproduce the portrait-like-features of the deceased.The necropolis dates mostly to the Hellenistic Age—between the 3rd and 1st century B.C.—while a small number;a nucleus of five—in two different areas—dates from the second half of the 6th beginning of the 5th century B.C.;i.e.the Archaic Age.
