Marzabotto

In the 6th century BC, on a green plateau in the Reno Valley, the Etruscans founded the city of Kainua, “the new city”. The geographical position, a hub between Tyrrhenian Etruria and the Po Valley, was carefully chosen, as was the form of the city, a projection of the celestial order.

Topics covered:
