Synopsis

In this essay, the archaeologist Barbro Santillo Frizell analyzes the concept of “Etruscan identity”, the theories on both the origin and end of this civilization and the recent contribution of molecular bioarchaeology to Etruscology. The numerous illustrations help the reader to understand how, over time, a cultural heritage and a rich mythology have been formed in the collective imagination, through the informative force of various exhibitions and the initiative of passionate and enterprising characters such as archaeologists, antique dealers, travelers, and researchers.
