Gragnano, necropolis discovered at the Garofalo pastry factory: 82 tombs

During expansion work at the Garofalo pasta factory in Gragnano, Italy, an ancient necropolis dating back to the 6th century BCE was discovered. The site contains 82 well-preserved tombs, each accompanied by rich funeral offerings. The excellent state of preservation is attributed to the protective layer of lapilli from Mount Vesuvius, which shielded the remains over centuries. This discovery provides valuable insights into ancient burial practices and the cultural history of the region. Archaeologists are now studying the artifacts to learn more about the people who lived in this area during antiquity.
