      Ciao, 

      I have found a few more books with info on the Etruscans: 

      1. Since snakes were a part of the Etruscan iconography, try making this 
      declicious cake called Torciglione. From the Recipe book: 'Celebrating 
      Italy' by Carol Field. 

      2.From the above book also is a great recipe for a spicy fish soup called 
      Minestra di Tinca. Said to be of Etruscan origin, it is now only found to 
      be made near Lake Bolsena. 

      3. 'The Mute Stones Speak', by Paul MacKendrick, 1960. Includes chapters 
      on prehistoric italy, the Etruscans and Early Rome. 

      4. 'Tarquinia and Etruscan Origins', by Hugh Hencken, 1968. This book 
      deals with the early days of Tarquinia, cemeteries, the Villanovans, 
      speculation on where the Etruscans came from. 

      5. 'An Intellectual and Cultural History of the Western World' Vol. I ,by 
      Harry Elmer Barnes, 1965. This book includes chapters on: primitive 
      thought and culture; the alphabet and origins of writing; Roman culture 
      and philosophy. 

      5. 'Italian Sculpture from Prehistory to the Etruscans' by Massimo Carra, 
      1970. Includes info and lots of pictures on: the Etruscans, the Po Valley, 
      the Apennines, Sicily, and Art.
