ETRUSCAN EXPERIENCE 

(starting from 2 hours)

Learn about the Etruscans with theoretical and practical experiences and tasting.

Thanks to our many years of experience on the Chimera and on the aspects of daily life related to the various cults, it is possible to delve into these and other aspects in front of perfect reproductions.

We will tell:

1) The history of the Chimera, the most evocative sculpture of all time of the Etruscan people! In the presence of our bronze reproduction we will talk about its secrets, partly revealed by us and reported in the book "Chimera Com'era".

At this link some previous events. https://www.centrostudi-arteecoscienza.it/eventi-etruschi/

In particular it will be possible to re-propose in whole or in part the following events:

Magical evening with an artistic and Etruscan theme - Sounds, Flavours, Scents at the Chimera fire - Chimera As It Was = The Myth Revealed

2) Some details of the fresco of the Tomb of the Leopards of Tarquinia will be commented thanks to the reproduction we have made with the new and corrected version of the restoration.

The fresco, dating back to the 5th century BC, represents a convivial scene typical of Etruscan culture. It shows an aristocratic banquet with figures lying on banquet beds, intent on eating, drinking and enjoying music and dancing. It is an important testimony of Etruscan social life and funeral beliefs, in which the banquet symbolizes the passage to the afterlife, celebrating life and death in an atmosphere of joy and serenity. The fresco is distinguished by the bright colors and elegance of the figures.

In the fresco, the presence of eggs, held in the hands of the participants at the banquet, has a deep symbolic meaning. The egg is an ancient symbol of rebirth and life cycle, associated with fertility and regeneration...

Another relevant aspect is the equal representation of men and women sitting together at the banquet, a distinctive element of Etruscan culture compared to other ancient civilizations, such as the Greek one, where women were often excluded from social events of this type...

At the end, if requested, it will be possible to make additions and/or themed tastings similarly to other EXPERIENCES.
