In-depth preview of three (plus) Etruscan cities and their archaeological treasures.
Livia Galante is a highly effective and engaging speaker and tour guide. I have experienced a number of her Zoom lectures through Context travel, and hope someday to have an in-person guided tour of Rome, Ostia, or these Etruscan cities of Cerveteri, Tarquinius, and Vulci. Regarding this lecture, Livia did a wonderful job of providing a balanced mix of how to access, what to emphasize, and why the ruins, tumuli, museums, and archaeological findings are important. I particularly appreciated the Etruscan timeline and its corresponding cultural and funerary and artistic and literary influences (such as the Homeric references and Egyptian and Turkish artifacts). I strongly recommend her for travelers with a desire for a deeper dive into Italy. Brava!
