Etruscan walks: The Etruscan Civilisation along the river Fiora

This is an introductory course to the history of the Etruscan civilisation involving trips to the most important sacred places. The participants will go for daily visits to the main archaeological sites at Sorano, Sovana and Pitigliano. Particular attention is drawn to the magical-sacred aspects of this enlightened culture. Students will be specifically guided through the rich and fascinating traces of the past that are everywhere in this region: the many necropolis, temples, sites of ancient towns, the roads, rocky artificial canyons, called "vie cave" built by Etruscans, etc. The relationship between the rocky and volcanic ecosystem of the Maremman hills will be located and examined.
