Cozzo Busonè is a hill located in Raffadali, Agrigento, inside which were found the Venuses of Busonè , two female statuettes of the Copper Age, now on display at the Regional Archaeological Museum of Agrigento . It was also the oldest human settlement of Raffadali and a necropolis.
There are a number of Arab legends related to this hill, including one stipulating that every seven and a half years, in full moon nights of the hill is open, revealing a treasure inside. This legend has also dedicated a song.[clarification needed]
The hill has oven tombs and two chamber tombs with stone and ceramic objects from the Chalcolithic period; archaeological excavations in them from 1967 onwards revealed the Venus figurines of Busonè.[1][2]
