Its main testimonies are the noble mounds of the monumental necropolis of Comeana with the grandiose Tumulus of Montefortini and the one that rises not far from the Tomba dei Boschetti, the Necropolis of Prato Rosello, in addition to the remains of the town of Artimino and the Etruscan settlement of Pietramarina.
