Italiano: Dal pannello didascalico nella sala: «I rilievi in pietra fetida. Tra le produzioni destinate all'ambito funerario si sviluppa, verso la fine del VI sec. a.C., un tipo di scultura realizzata nella caratteristica pietra locale detta fetida: cippi, urnette e più raramente sarcofagi, con decorazioni a bassorilievo. I soggetti raffigurano prevalentemente rituali che si svolgevano nel corso dei funerali (compianto del defunto, trasporto con corteo, sacrifici) o scene di vita quotidiana tipiche del ceto aristocratico (banchetti, danze, giochi). Piuttosto rari sono i soggetti mitologici (Amazzonomachia), mentre più frequenti sono le scene di duello.»

English: From the didactic panel in the room: «Reliefs in "pietra fetida". Towards the end of the 6th century B.C. there developed the production of numerous objects destined for the grave and sculpted in a local limestone called "pietra fetida". This stone is very fine-grained and retains a strong sulfphuric odor, hence the name. The subject most often represented depict rituals taking place during an Etruscan funeral. Scenes of aristocratic daily life are also common. Mythological subjects are rather rare, whereas duel-fighting scenes are much more frequent.»
