Vetulonia

Vetulonia: land, sea and art

Exploring the ancient Etruscan maritime village

While strolling through the small village of Vetulonia, you can’t help but notice the incredible views of the Castiglionese and Grossetana plains: a landscape of timeless charm with ancient origins. The "Diaccia Botrona," a natural reserve, remains both symbol and proof of the deep link between Vetulonia and the sea, a wetland located where Lake Prile was found in Etruscan times. The image of Vetulonia as a maritime city is further cemented on its coins, with sea symbols present on sextans and ounces, including tridents, anchors, dolphins and the personification of Vetulonia (Vetulonenses), represented as a naked man leaning on a pine tree and with an oar on his shoulder.
