TOUR DESCRIPTION – TARQUINIA AND TUSCANIA
Tarquinia This medieval town, located on a hilltop, is a world heritage convention UNESCO site.The roots of this charming town are very ancient, even older than the Roman empire. Before the romans there were the Etruscans. Moreover, you will find in Tarquinia a fascinating Archaeological Museum (located in a beautiful early Renaissance palace erected, by Cardinal Giovanni Vitelleschi), and necropolis (reflecting different types of burial practices from the 9th to the 1st century BC).Tarquinia is one of the best places to bear witness to the achievements of Etruscan culture which, over nine centuries, developed the earliest urban civilization in the northern Mediterranean.
Tuscania If you fell in love with the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”, you will find all the same charming ingredients in this true Italian hilltop town, located just south of Tuscany. Teeming with great food, shops & streets to explore, the town has a beautiful medieval flair that will feel like going back in time. With the rise of the Roman dominion in central Italy, most of the Etruscan settlements disappeared but Tuscania resisted as one of the most important cities thanks to its advanced architectonic development (bath, aqueducts, etc.). Over the centuries, some of the most beautiful Italian churches were built in Tuscania.
