The Dome

Extremely elegant, the dome is formed by sectors of white stones that alternate with sectors of red bricks. It recalls the Roman-Etruscan graves of Cerveteri or Vetulonia, or even Cecilia Metella’s tomb on the Appia Road in Rome (this latter is finally available for tours, after a lot of years).

The Dome

The true originality of the dome lies in the fact that you can’t guess its existence from outside.
