François Tomb

Local nameTomba François
LocationMontalto di Castro, Italy

The François Tomb is an important painted Etruscan tomb from the Ponte Rotto Necropolis in the Etruscan city of Vulci, Lazio, in central Italy. It was discovered in 1857 by Alessandro François and Adolphe Noël des Vergers. It dates to the last quarter of the fourth century BC. The tomb seems to belong to the Etruscan family of the Saties and one of its chief occupants is Vel Saties, who appears with his dwarf, Arnza.

Its outstanding frescoes are significant both iconographically and also in terms of their comments on Etruscan history and identity.
