Monolocale

The cluster is in the coastal plain and low tuff hills between Cerveteri and the Tyrrhenian. The Tyrrhenian coast is within a few kilometres, with the beaches and shore settlements of Marina di Cerveteri and Ladispoli in the same local area. The Fosso Zambra and other short streams cut the volcanic tuff countryside inland. The Necropolis of Banditaccia at Cerveteri, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is within the local area and is one of the main Etruscan archaeological landscapes in Italy. Cerveteri itself is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services; Ladispoli adds rail access and a larger coastal service strip. The area is known for Etruscan archaeology and for farmland on the old volcanic plateau near the coast.
