Not surprisingly, in any way that the features of many Tuscan look like at various faces represented in Etruscan relics or tomb paintings. As well as the fact that many of our words are similar to places in Tuscany.
The Etruscan settlement in Valdichiana is one of the most consistent
The area experienced a florid period thanks to agricultural techniques imported from the Etruscans. In addition, this ancient civilisation began the sale of food, artifacts along the river Clanis allowing a real economic development.
The splendor of the Etruscan civilization is testified by finds from Arezzo, Cortona and Chiusi.
The testimonies are thousands, as thousands are the tombs and the remains have been identified. Only in the territory of Chianciano Terme were discovered more than 1000 graves in "pit". While in the basement of Chiusi was found the "labyrinth of Porsenna": a system of tunnels that allow you to know the city in depth and arriving just below the Bell Tower of the Cathedral.
The finds have been carefully restored and are preserved in museums as the National Archaeological Museum of Chiusi, Cetona, Chianciano Terme Museum, the Museum of Sarteano.
