Before Rome became the dominant power in Italy, the Etruscans created one of the peninsula's most fascinating civilisations. The ancient necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia contain thousands of tombs, many decorated with paintings showing scenes of Etruscan daily life. These sites provide a rare glimpse into a culture that strongly influenced early Rome. The countryside location makes them excellent destinations for walkers, cyclists and travellers exploring the quieter side of Lazio.
