In the Scaglia Necropolis you can admire about sixty tombs related to a time span ranging from the ninth to the fifth century B.C. from the oldest, Villanovan era, the well type, with the bones of the deceased collected in a vase laid in a cavity of the ground, to the sepulchres to pit of later age, up to the graves to room, more late, constituted by ample rooms with two beds; you can however find the different types in the same temporal arc, chosen based on the beliefs and the will of the deceased. In the site there is also a quarry of scales, probably derived from a chamber tomb, used in Roman times.
