Castello Banfi - Culinary History - Etruscan Origins... __ About the cuisine of
the ancient Etruscan civilization. "Much of what they prepared and consumed is
reflected in modern Tuscan dining. And yes, they did have pasta. You will also
find some interesting aspects of Etruscan history and custom. For example:
"Incidentally, the Etruscan woman wasn't confined to domestic chores; she lead a
remarkably free life. The modern feminist would find her a good example, so
would mud wrestlers." - From Castello Banfi -

Etruscan Art __ "In all studies of Etruscan art, it should be remembered that a
large proportion of Etruscan art did not survive up until the present day. We
read of the Roman destruction of Volsinii and the destruction of 2000 Etruscan
bronzes which were melted down to produce bronze coins. As a result of this, we
have a somewhat skewed perception of Etruscan art, in that most of the art that
survives today is funerary art, and we form totally wrong impressions about the
Etrusans as a result." Much of that wrong impression can be corrected in this
website. Etruscan pictures - illustrated - From The Mysterious Etruscans -

The Etruscan Liber Linteus__ "Back in the mid-19th century, Mihail de Baric
resigned from the Hungarian army, went to Egypt, and bought the mummy of a young
woman which would later be dated to the first century A.D. or so. The mummy
itself, although interesting, was less interesting than the linen bandages which
had been used to wrap it. They turned out to be a rather large text in the
Etruscan language (how the text came to be in Egypt is unknown) and although
largely untranslated, it seems that it is a religious calendar of some sort. You
can see the entire 'book' in a series of photos and if you know any of the
words, they want to talk with you." - illustrated - From Gabor Z. Bodroghy -
