The Tomb of Ildebranda was built in the Etruscan period, generally dated to the IIIe au IIe century BC. The exact dating remains debated: some presentations place it more precisely in the 3rde century BC, while others use a broader range.
It is located in the necropolis of Sovana, near Sorano, in Maremma. Not to be confused with its construction date: the tomb was discovered in 1924. Its name was given to it much later, in reference to Ildebrando of Sovana, who became Pope Gregory VII; the identity of the person buried there is unknown.
