The Etruscan Mystery

The Etruscan's civilization was based on the celebration of art and ceramics, sexuality, and pure knowledge of all things that make one unique.  It would take centuries to explain the influence of their lives upon modern civilizations, but PastHorizons has completed an exceptional background on the Etruscans.

Using new scientific analysis and documentation as well as several projects, including the Marsiliana D’Albegna Project, which has so far uncovered a residential area of Marsiliana comprising of Poggio del Castello, Uliveto di Banditella and Poggio di Macchiabuia, Pasthorizons sheds light on a completely new aspect of Etruscan living.

Deriving influences from the eastern Mediterranean, this Orientalising period was marked by the importation of ceramics and metals.
