Nenfro

Nenfro is a volcanic rock, gray tuff, little resistant compact structure, typical of the Viterbo region that the Etruscans used in their sculptures of northern Lazio:

  • The Winged lion of Vulci, in the Louvre
  • The Centaur of Vulci, preserved in the Villa Giulia in Rome
  • The sarcophagus of Laris Pulena MS 3488 of Civita Musarna.
  • The sarcophagi figured at the galleries and the entrance to the Tarquinia National Museum

    • One of its features is to take a pinkish tint when drying.
