The Project

Tuscany is a land rich in archaeological, landscape and cultural evidence of the Etruscan civilization, a people of skilled navigators, skilled craftsmen, expert in trade and strongly devoted to their gods and religious practices, with their own language and writing.

The narrative of Etruria Toscana is divided into six Narrative Routes, winding through museums, archaeological areas and parks, and landscapes, illustrating the most fascinating aspects of a civilization that left an extraordinary legacy.

Four Narrative Routes have been designed around as many geographical-cultural areas:

Lanscapes of the Sacred
The Landscapes of Artistic Craftsmanship
Landscapes of Wine and Food
Landscapes of Metal Production

and two other culture tours are thematic:

The Etruscan Language
On the trail of Odysseus

The six Narrative Routes are conceived by imagining a Grand Tour 2.0 in Etruria Toscana, through the different digital contents, which are the prelude and then the accompaniment to a live discovery of the great heritage of the Etruscans in Tuscany, kept in the Museums, witnessed by the monuments, readable in today's landscapes.

 

The topics of the Narrative Paths respond to themes of widespread and general interest, capable of stimulating the curiosity of a variety of audiences and functional to communicate in effective forms the history of the Etruscans, their tangible and intangible evidence and the history of the territories they inhabited.

 

Of the different geographical-cultural areas, the historical, landscape, environmental, and agronomic profiles are told, including socio-economic, historical and contemporary characterization, set in a context of historical-archaeological and landscape reconstruction.

 

Museums, archaeological areas and parks are the cornerstones of a historical-cultural and landscape geography that gives us back the past of Etruscan Tuscany and allows us to explore the museum collections and monuments down to the smallest detail, with different levels of detail and with supporting multimedia tools, such as videos and 3D reconstructions, and very high-definition images.
