Necropolis of Banditaccia, Cerveteri, Roma, Lazio, Italy, Europe
The necropolis of Banditaccia is an Etruscan necropolis located on a tufaceous rise northwest of Cerveteri, in the province of Rome. The necropolis covers about 400 hectares and there are many thousands of burials (the fenced and visitable part represents only 10 hectares of extension and has about 400 tumuli), from the oldest of the Villanovan period (IX century BC) to the most recent from the Etruscan period (3rd century BC). Its origin is to be found in a nucleus of Villanovian tombs in the Cava della Pozzolana locality, and the name Banditaccia derives from the fact that from the end of the nineteenth century the area was banned, that is rented by tender, from the landowners of Cerveteri to favor of the local population. Given its grandeur, the Necropolis of Banditaccia is the largest ancient necropolis in the Mediterranean area. The oldest burials are Villanovian (from the ninth century BC to the eighth century BC), and are characterized by the shape of a well, where the ashes of the deceased were kept, or from the pits for burial. From the 7th century BC, the Etruscan period, there are two types of burial, those with a mound and those with a dice. The latter consist of a long line of tombs regularly lined up along sepulchral streets. In the visitable part of the Necropolis of Banditaccia there are two of these streets, Via dei Monti Ceriti and Via dei Monti della Tolfa, dating back to the 6th century BC The tumulus burials are characterized by a circular tuff-like structure that encloses a representation of the house of the deceased, complete with a corridor (dromos) to access the various rooms. The wealth of details in the interior of these graves has allowed archaeologists to learn about the Etruscan home uses.
For this purpose the best burial appears to be the tomb of the Reliefs, dating back to the 4th century BC and belonged to the family of the Matunas, as we read in the inscriptions: the inside of the tomb was kept in particularly good conditions, allowing to observe also the frescoes on the walls and on the columns. The most recent burials are from the 3rd century BC Many of the finds found in the necropolis are collected in the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome and in many other museums scattered all over the world, while only a small part of the funeral objects found loco is kept in the National Cerite Museum. Since July 2004, the necropolis of Banditaccia, along with that of the Monterozzi of Tarquinia, has become part of the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Places to see in ( Civitavecchia - Italy ) Terme Taurine
The name comes from the Latin word taurus that means bull. The thermal baths were described in the travel journey of the poet Rutilio Claudio Namaziano (416 d.C.), who tells that the name comes from a legend according to which a bull (probably associated to some divinity) pawed the ground before starting a fight, and so a hot water spring of sulphur properties spurted from the ground. In reality, legend appart, it is very likely that the name of the Taurine Baths comes directly from the ancient small lake of Aquae Tauri, from where the spring gushed out.
On the slopes of the mounts of Tolfa, actually, nearby the ancient small lake of Aquae Tauri, gushes out the spring that is still today passing through the Taurine Baths. Different studies speculate that the complex area could be identified with the villa of emperor Trajan and it is known that the thermal springs were well-known and appreciated for their therapeutical qualities since ancient times. The Etruscans were the first to value the waters. They built rudimentary thermal baths, that were developed and widened only later on in Roman times.
In Sulla age Sillana (90-70 a.C.) a new building was erected and it took the name of Taurine Baths, experiencing the main development in Trajan age, followed by a later widening towards the end of Hadrian empire. The thermal area was considerably busy during the whole Imperial age until the empire decadende. During the war between Goth and Byzantines, the complex was completely abandoned; only by halfway through the last century some projects to restore the thermal baths were started, but they were unfortunately never brought to an end. Today, in the archeological park of the Taurine Baths, water doesn't run anymore, but if you want to appreciate the therapeutical properties of its hot water, we recommend to you to visit the neighboring Ficoncella thermal complex.

Saturnia - Le Terme del Gorello o del Mulino
Le Terme di Saturnia e le sue acque sulfuree che sgorgano dal sottosuolo con una portata di 800 litri al secondo ed una temperatura costante di 37° Centigradi, erano conosciute già ai tempi degli Etruschi i quali avevano individuato nella sorgente virtù miracolose.
► Hotel in zona:
Ma successivamente furono i Romani i primi a creare veri e propri edifici per lo sfruttamento terapeutico della sorgente e a trarre beneficio dalle Terme di Saturnia.
Nel Medioevo la particolarità di questo luogo derivante dall'odore di zolfo, dal vapore acqueo e dal calore sprigionato propiziarono molte leggende, si narrava che il diavolo uscisse da qui per lasciare gli inferi e la zona era descritta come un luogo stregato e demoniaco.
Oggi ovviamente Saturnia è rinomata proprio come centro termale, ma è possibile beneficiare delle acque di Saturnia anche presso le cascate del Gorello (o del Mulino), di libero accesso, poste a 2 km dal borgo di Saturnia.
