Picenian history at I Pini
The I Pini di Sirolo archaeological area lies in the heart of Parco del Conero. It is the only musealised and visitable example in the Marche of part of a Picenian necropolis with circular structures. The site is not freely accessible; in summer, visits are possible after contacting Proloco Sirolo – Riviera del Conero. For a stay focused on culture, this distinctive feature is one of the important considerations when choosing your location.
The Tomba della Regina is located in the I Pini archaeological area; it is the tomb of a Picenian noblewoman from the 6th century BC. Two vehicles, a biga and a calesse, were dismantled and buried together with the woman in the Tomba della Regina. This detail gives Picenian history in Sirolo a particularly tangible dimension.
