The Capanna di Sasso has an interesting history. It was probably excavated by the Etruscans with the aim of creating a family tomb. Over time, a hut with a truncated cone dome was then built, presumably in the modern era, using blocks of tuff and a binder. It is assumed that the building was used as a dairy to serve a sheepfold given the existence of windows, a smoke vent and a fireplace.
