The Fortune of the Etruscans Project - A series of talks at the Santa Chiara Museum Complex in San Gimignano
As part of the Etruscans 85/25 Project, promoted by the Region of Tuscany and organised by the Fondazione Musei Senesi, the Municipality of San Gimignano, the Civic Museums, and Opera Laboratori, a series of events takes shape, offering space for dialogue and reflection between archaeology, art, and museum design.
Three public encounters will offer the opportunity to delve into historical and cultural themes related to the Etruscan civilisation, revisit past exhibition experiences, and discover new contemporary interpretations.
