This
museum is housed in the splendid Renaissance
villa of Pope Julius Ill, which was built between
1550 and 1555, it is located in two courtyards which
are separated by a nymphaeum.
It is
a classic suburban villa whose construction involved
the participation of renowned architects like Giorgio
Vasari, Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola
and Bartolomeo Ammannati.
It was
appointed as a museum site in 1889, today it
is one of the most representative museums of Etruscan
art.
It houses
finds in particular from southern Etruria, that
is from the territory of northern Lazio, between
the Tiber and the Tyrrhenian Sea, a place
which is extremely rich in evidence of different eras
and various civilizations (Etruscan, Greek,
Phoenician, Faliscan), since it was a
natural intersection, a crossroads of traffic along
the main routes of communication of the central Mediterranean.
The
finds are exhibited according in a topographical
manner, beginning with the areas of Vulci,
Bisenzio, Veii, and Cerveteri.
Some
of the most well-known works are the bronzes from
Vulci, the terracotta decoration from the Sanctuary
The Barberini, Pesciotti and Castellani
collections are quite important, they include several
extremely important jewels for the study of
Etruscan jewellery, which date mainly from between
VII century BC and the medieval era, as
well as reproductions ordered by the same Castellani
on ancient models.
The
Faliscan-Capenate section, which houses material
from towns in the middle valley of the Tiber
such as Corchiano, Vignanello, Nepi,
Narce and in particular Falerii Veteres
(Civita Castellana) with terracotta sculptures
from the ornaments of the sanctuaries in the area, is
particularly interesting.
Then
follow materials from towns in Latium Vetus,
among which we can find the oriental style accessories
found in the princely tombs of Barberini and
Bernardini of Palestrina; the famous gold
foils of texts from Pyrgi, written in the
Etruscan and Phoenician languages (V century
BC), are also featured in this section as well as
the terracotta polychrome sculptures that line
the wooden structure of the two temples of
the sanctuary of Leucotea Ilizia.
The
Museum offers numerous itineraries that make it
possible to also admire the underground rooms of
the Villa like the nymphaeum, the remains
of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct (Augustan age),
and the "neviera" of Pope Julius Ill.
