Cerveteri - A Private Day Trip from Rome

We know so much about them and still so little. The Etruscans seem to be the shadow of Roman success. Those were them who taught Romans the famous arch and other tricks of architecture and engineering. They built the Roman sewage that still works 2. 5 thousand years after! When Rome was just a settlement of huts, Etruscans reached the peak of their prosperity. Their women had equal rights to men. They knew how to enjoy life, no wonder Etruscans brought wine to Italy. And still - where did this people come from? Why did they disappear? Nothing brings us more light on their life than death. Visit the necropolis of Cerveteri - a real city of dead. Excavated in a volcanic rock it had to host the souls of the bypassed. A unique archeological site that shows us an Etruscan city in miniature. Beds, chairs, windows inside the tombs model real dwellings. Come here on a day trip to rest from the chaos of Rome. Time seems to have stopped here and it tells us so much about the mystery of the ancient civilisation. .
