The Etruscan World
The Etruscans can be shown to have made significant, and in some cases perhaps the first, technical advances in the central and northern Mediterranean. To the Etruscan people we can attribute such developments as the tie-beam truss in large wooden structures, surveying and engineering drainage and water tunnels, the development of the foresail for fast long-distance sailing vessels, fine techniques of metal production and other pyrotechnology, post-mortem C-sections in medicine, and more. In art, many technical and iconographic developments, although they certainly happened first in Greece or the Near East, are first seen in extant Etruscan works, preserved in the lavish tombs and goods of E...
Etruscology
This handbook has two purposes: it is intended (1) as a handbook of Etruscology or Etruscan Studies, offering a state-of-the-art and comprehensive overview of the history of the discipline and its development, and (2) it serves as an authoritative reference work representing the current state of knowledge on Etruscan civilization. The organization of the volume reflects this dual purpose. The first part of the volume is dedicated to methodology and leading themes in current research, organized thematically, whereas the second part offers a diachronic account of Etruscan history, culture, religion, art & archaeology, and social and political relations and structures, as well as a systematic treatment of the topography of the Etruscan civilization and sphere of influence.
Historical Dictionary of the Etruscans
The Etruscans were the creators of one of the most highly developed cultures of the pre-Roman Era. Having, at one time, control over a significant part of the Mediterranean, the Etruscans laid the foundation of the city of Rome. They had their own language, which has never been totally decoded, and their art influenced such artists as Michelangelo. While the Etruscans were eventually conquered by the Romans, they left a rich culture behind. The Historical Dictionary of the Etruscans relates the history of this culture, focusing on aspects of their material culture and art history. A chronology, introductory essay, bibliography, appendix of museums and research institutes, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions provide an entry into a comparative study of the Etruscans.

Ai confini di Roma
Questo catalogo può essere per molte persone l'inizio di un percorso. Ci racconta di una Provincia che è tra le più ricche in Italia di parchi e musei archeologici, non solo dentro ma anche fuori le mura della Capitale. Raccogliere alcuni esempi significativi dei tesori del nostro territorio, e metterli a disposizione di tutti in alcune delle aree più suggestive e frequentate di Roma, è un modo per dare visibilità a ricchezze che altrimenti rischierebbero di essere ignorate. [...] I reperti e le opere che compongono questa mostra consentono di spostarsi con leggerezza da Albano a Monterotondo, da Tolfa a Capena, da Subiaco a Valmontone, da Nemi a Nettuno. Potremo pensare di aver raggiunto il nostro obiettivo, e conseguito una piccola vittoria, ogni volta che una persona, incuriosita dal fascino di quello che avrà visto, deciderà di uscire da casa per andare a scoprire quante altre bellezze racchiudano le sedi stabili dei tesori esposti e presentati in queste pagine. [Nicola Zingaretti, Presidente della Provincia di Roma] Saggi e contributi di: Nicola Zingaretti, Cecilia D'Elia, Alessandro Nicosia, Marina Sapelli Ragni, Anna Maria Moretti Sgubini, Maria Teresa D'Alessio.
