LdM started to investigate two newly discovered “cities of the dead ”, in 2005, with the support of CAMNES since 2011. The project then proceeded in 2020 to explore a new necropolis, Sasso Pinzuto, starting from 2021 in partnership with the University of Naples Federico II. Sasso Pinzuto covers a very large area where hundreds of tombs have been discovered in the past. The archaeological project focuses on a series of tombs belonging to the 6th century BCE, directly excavated in the tufa rock.
