Clone of the Sarcophagus of the Spouses

“This clone is perfectly similar to the original one – dr. Alfonsina Russo, Suprintendent of the Etruscan National Museum in Rome, said – the result is so astonishing, it almost moved me! This is a perfect example about modern technology to support ancient art and history. Thus a very unique piece of history can be shown all over the world without any problem”.

Product - 2014

The clone has been manufactured by Italdesign using the very same technologies and machines used in everyday work to mill the 1:1 scale models of cars and prototypes.

The clone is made of polyurethane resins and milled with a vertical 5-axes computer-controlled milling machine within Italdesign Milling department, starting from a 3D digital scanning of the original Sarcophagus, showcased in the Etruscan National Museum Villa Giulia in Rome.
