Its intricate design and symbolism leave visitors captivated. Another remarkable find is an Etruscan sepulchral cippus adorned with a relief depicting three male figures engaged in a funeral dance. Holding instruments and vegetable elements, they seem to celebrate life even in death. This masterpiece can be admired at the same museum in Chiusi. Moving on to Roman culture, the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence houses a poignant funerary cippus dedicated to Junia Procula. Its presence evokes emotions as it stands as a testament to love and remembrance. In Perugia's National Archaeological Museum, one encounters a memorial stone featuring an enchanting dance scene. It transports viewers back to ancient times when movement was captured forever within stone. The Mostra Augustea held in Rome showcased various artifacts, including a captivating relief depicting Aeneas' escape from Troy on a cippus now exhibited at Musei Reali in Turin.
