Volterra preserves one of the most important archaeological heritages in Tuscany and represents one of the best-preserved testimonies of Etruscan civilization. Known in antiquity as Velathri, the city played a central role for centuries in the political, economic, and cultural relations of Etruria, leaving traces that are still visible today in the urban fabric and surrounding territory.
In this section, we collect articles, studies, and in-depth analyses dedicated to the history and archaeology of Volterra: from the origins of the city to the transformations that occurred during the Roman and Medieval periods, including the major archaeological discoveries that have brought to light necropolises, sacred areas, monuments, and valuable artefacts. A journey through centuries of history that allows us to better understand the evolution of one of the most important centres of ancient Italy.
Through research, analyses, and updates on excavations and new scientific interpretations, this collection provides useful resources both for enthusiasts and for those wishing to deepen their knowledge of Volterra’s historical and archaeological heritage.
