The Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia
With the aid of our expert guide we will go on a beautifully-two-hour-guided discovery of the Etruscan civilization.
The first people to inhabit the Italian peninsula, refined and extremely clever, the Etruscans were the inventors of the arch and of the aqueducts so widely used during the Roman period.
Built for Pope Julius III between 1550 and 1555, Villa Giulia is a magnificent Renaissance palace built in what once were the outskirts of the city.
A civilization which were lovers of art and beauty which can be better understood through the commercial trade which was done with the Greek civilization.
The Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia is a treasure trunk filled with masterpieces from the Greek world dating back to the Necropolis situated in the suburbs of Rome.
We will visit the areas of the museum where you can fully admire the armor and weapons used by the Etruscan warriors, jewels and precious stones complimented in gold in intricate and minor detail and precision.
Where you can observe everyday objects of that day such as combs, glasses for drinking, vases, knives, bracelets and many other objects which have been collected over the years.
The Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia tour will enable you to completely comprehend even the minutest aspect of this great civilization then absorbed by the Roman Empire.
We will explain the specific boundaries of their commercial dominion on the Mediterranean, their birth and it their death, an overall journey into the discovery of the origins before the birth of Rome!
