The Etruscans are one of the most fascinating pre-Roman civilizations but, puzzlingly, also one of those we know the least about: the real Etruscan mystery is that of their origin and of their language,  both  of which remain largely unknown, in spite of the many theories advanced throughout the decades.  

But that doesn’t mean they didn’t leave a plethora of archaeological vestiges for us to admire, study and enjoy, symbol and vision of the height of  culture and knowledge they had reached. We usually hear about their necropolis, and about towns like Volterra, in the province of Pisa, that once was part of the Etruscan League. Not as famous are, however, their Vie Cave.
