Nenfro is a volcanic rock, gray tuff, little resistant compact structure,[1] typical of the Viterbo region that the Etruscans used in their sculptures of northern Lazio:
- The Winged lion of Vulci, in the Louvre
- The Centaur of Vulci, preserved in the Villa Giulia in Rome
- The sarcophagus of Laris Pulena MS 3488 of Civita Musarna.[2]
- The sarcophagi figured at the galleries and the entrance to the Tarquinia National Museum
One of its features is to take a pinkish tint when drying.[3]
