This area is where the Etruscans held forth for 12 centuries be3fore Christ.

There is a marvelous museum nearby in Chianciano.

In four floors there are four different aspects of the amazing, sophisticated and above all culture utilizing bronze, terra cotta, and stone in the production of weapons, utensils and sculpture.

Directly above is a vase depicting the important of women. Indeed, an entire hall was given to women...their make up, dresses etc. Not JUST cooking and cleaning!

You will also see long iron spits used for grilling sacrificed animals. This was done by the wine pouring servants as the guests of banquets and symposiums imbibed and listened to flute players.
