Take a trip thru Etruria, which unwines on the Italian peninsula, a country known around the world for it's art, culture, and history. Before Rome, on the land known as the America of the Ancient World, there where the Etruscans or Tirreni/Raseni. The Etruscans settled on this land located on the Palatino Hill that looked down on the river and swamps that would later become some of the greatest cities and towns of the Ancient World. 
Their origins a mystery and the language obscure, no-one really knows from where they came from. But with them they brought a refined culture and an advanced Civilization. Our tour through Etruria is divided into two parts. The first part of our tour is through southern Etruria or Tuscia, the beginning of the Etruscans. The second part of our trip, called Tuscany is through Northern Etruria where the Etruscans fell to the might of Rome.
