Tarquinia was one of the most ancient cities of the Etruscan confederation. Archaeological evidence attests to the presence of villages on the plateau, which then gave origins to the Etruscan centre. Tarquinia lost power after its clashes with Rome between 311 and 308 B.C. The necropoleis are situated in the inhabited centres of Monterozzi and Calvario. There are around 6000 tombs - around 60 of which are decorated with paintings. The Tomb of the Augurs, the Giglioli, the Hunting and Fishing and the Leopards Tombs are some of the most famous. The tomb of the jugglers, dated to around 510 B.C., is very well-known for the accuracy of its painted figures and the care taken over its details.

Metadata Information
Name Modelling and digitization process - Tomb of the Jugglers
Description In-house developed algorithms and combined with commercial packages were used to generate a dense point cloud. The obtained dense point cloud was triangulated to derive a mesh model and finally a high resolution texture was generated.
Metadata Information
Name Metric survey - Tomb of the Jugglers
Description Combined TOF scanning and panoramic photographic surveys were carried out to obtain the complete 3D model. The TOF range data were used to derive the geometry of the tomb, while the panoramic image was used to derive the photo-realistic high resolution texture.
