Here the ruins of the village, into the wood, with two orthogonal streets, house foundations, a large water cistern and a hole called "Tana del Tasso" for the rain water swallowing up. It represents perhaps the only Celtic village preserved in Italy.
Frequented since the III millennium b.C., it was then Etruscan in the V century and then Celtic. It was abandoned probably after the Roman conquest.
