National Etruscan Museum (Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulia)
Piazzale di Villa Giulia 9, 00196 Rome, ItalyAbout
This splendid Renaissance villa, built for Pope Giulio III, houses an important collection of Etruscan treasures found mainly in graves and tombs. The Tomb of the Newlyweds is one of the most famous pieces here, and was probably designed to contain the remains of a couple. There is a reconstruction of a temple in the garden, illustrating the Etruscans' love of detail. The water garden in front of the museum decorated with mosaics, fountains, and statues, and the frescoes inside the colonnaded loggia are worth noting. A recent piece is a 5th century terracotta relief, which shows the Grecian influence on Etruscan art.
