Descent into Hell in the Tomb of the Infernal Quadriga
Montepulciano (Italy)
Location
This tour, available only on Saturdays, will take you inside the Tomb of the Infernal Quadriga in Sarteano, a unique and suggestive experience.
Cold, humid, it literally leaves you speechless because of the explosion of bright red on the left side of the corridor where a quadriga running to the underworld is represented, guided by a demon with flaming hair. A little further on, a banquet scene with two men, perhaps father and son reconciled in the afterlife, perhaps two lovers.
At the bottom of the tomb, a sarcophagus and two spectacular representations. In one wall a hippocampus, in the other a three-headed snake that you will hardly forget. So extraordinary that even Alessandro Michele chose it for one of his incredible Gucci clothes.
Once you have re-emerged from the underworld, you will move to Chianciano Terme to the Theia Thermal Pools, the bath of the Etruscans, for moments of real relaxation.
