Chiusi Underground Experience

Discover Chiusi as you’ve never seen it before: a journey that brings together charm, archaeology, and taste in one exclusive experience.

Your adventure begins in the Underground City, the Civic Museum that reveals the hidden soul of Chiusi. Among tunnels, ancient chambers, and original artifacts, you’ll uncover how the Etruscans lived, worked, and shaped the landscape. In the section dedicated to Productive Activities, you’ll learn about a fascinating aspect of local history: the deep connection between this ancient people and Lake Chiusi, a vital resource for fishing since antiquity.

And it is from this Etruscan tradition that the cooking technique of pesce brustico originates — a practice still alive today. The fish is cooked directly on burning reeds, just as the ancient inhabitants did: a simple yet striking method that delivers an unmistakable flavor.

After the museum visit, enjoy a lakeside lunch on Chiusi Lake, where you can taste the authentic brustico surrounded by a unique natural setting. An experience designed for those who love stories of the past, genuine cuisine, and atmospheres that surprise and inspire.

Discover the most authentic side of Chiusi: underground, historic, and irresistibly delicious.
