Etruscan itinerary


ENQUIRY

 

The Etruscan civilisation developed between the 8th century and the half of the 1st century BC in an area which consists of Tuscany, Umbria and high Lazio. Also in Emilia Romagna and Padania important traces of the presence of the Etruscans can be found. 
The Necropolis testimonies of the great importance which was given to the death of people by the Etruscan. In many tombs objects of gold, jewels, sculptures, earthenware, bronze objects, sarcophaguses and marvellous parietal pictures have been found. The Etruscan architecture had a great development, also in the civil and religious production.  The Etruscans worked with perishable goods (wood and earthenware). Because of this, a part of precious documents is lost
