In Valdichiana senese on the traces of the etruscan civilization: among Montepulciano, Chiusi and Sarteano

This three days tour will guide you on an epic journey through the history of one of the oldest civilizations in central Italy since the 7th century b.c. : the Etruscans.

Etruscan civilization had a profound influence on Roman civilization, later merging together at the end of the 1st century b.c. 
This long process of cultural assimilation began with the conquest of the etruscan city of Veio by the Romans in 396 b.c and ended up around 27 b.c, the first year of Octavian's principality, with the award of the title of Augustus.
