L’urna di Vel Rafi, esposta al Museo archeologico nazionale dell’Umbria

Offre un affascinante scorcio sulle tradizioni funerarie etrusche. Scoperta nel 1887 nel cimitero monumentale di Perugia, questa urna in travertino (alta 93 cm) risale al III-II secolo a.C. e probabilmente apparteneva al capo della famiglia Rafi. Il coperchio raffigura una figura reclinata del defunto, mentre la parte anteriore presenta una porta ad arco fiancheggiata da due teste scolpite. Al centro si trova un uomo anziano che regge un righello, forse un cenno alla professione di architetto di Vel Rafi. Alcuni studiosi ritengono che la porta potrebbe non simboleggiare l’aldilà, ma piuttosto una porta della città che ha contribuito a progettare. Dato che le mura etrusche di Perugia furono costruite durante la sua vita, questa urna potrebbe servire come tributo al suo contributo all’architettura della città.
