The history of Saturnia begins as early as the Neolithic, when there was a primitive settlement, Saturnia then became part of the domains of the ancient Caletra and under the government of the Etruscans it experienced a period of great development, today testified by the numerous necropolises that arise around the Tuscan town, the oldest of which dates back to the 8th century BC ,C., and from the walls, whose original structure was built by the Etruscans. With the fall of Vulci, Saturnia passed under the Roman Empire and first became a Sabatine colony and then a prefecture.
