Master goldsmith Edilberto Formigli restored one of the Riace Bronses in Florence, which lead him to his current interest in archaeo-metallurgy. Gerhard Nestler works experimentally in the field of ancient goldsmithing techniques. He collaborated with Formigli in a professional symposium that lead to the creation of this book. Both authors live in Murlo, Italy, a small town of Etruscan origins not far from Sienna.
