Sumario:The Italian region of Lunigiana, is located between Liguria and Tuscany, and is rich in stone statues which were worked from the third millennium B.C. until the beginning of the historical period, around the 6th century B.C. (Anati, 1981). Eighty statues have been collected and show stylized male and female characters with some characteristic elements such as weapons or necklaces. In this long period, more than 700 statues of this type are present in Europe as shown in Figure 1. All of the “Statue Stele of Lunigiana” are made of sandstone, a sedimentary rock of the upper Oligocene epoch.
