Lovely civilization. I went to the National Etruscan Museum in the Villa Giulla in Rome. In fact, I went twice during the month I was there. Etruscans had incredible skill at making gold jewelry and other objects. So happy I got to see it.

Sounds great, and, I'm pretty jealous now. :^)

I recall reading about a fake peach made of gold by the Etruscans, it had a fuzz on it that had survived somehow, also made of gold. I'm not sure anyone has ever figured out how they made it. :^)
