The Lapidary Museum Maffeiano has a Very interesting collection of Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Paleo-christian funerary stones. It is a great place to contemplate your own mortality. Humans have been dying for thousands of years. What not you? Just be careful. As the Museum demonstrates, Your stones will live much longer than you do.

Just came here for the photo of the building's exterior structure, because by the time we reached there it's already close. However the guard was very nice and allow us to enter just to snap a few photo out of it.
