    Another day and another one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about. In the past few weeks, two Muslims were arrested for plotting to bomb the Eiffel Tower and another was shot down in France after stabbing 5 people. (Authorities are still searching for the motive of the stabber who was shouting “Allahu Akbar”. It’ll turn out to be ‘mental illness’. Now over to Italy. An attack foiled at the Santa Rosa festival in Viterbo . The newspaper Il Messaggero reports that two Turkish citizens were arrested by the Italian Special Operations Division (DIGOS) with machine guns and...

    Bomarzo is an obscure little town in the Viterbo province of Lazio, Italy.

    Italian archaeologists have discovered a sacred mountain where ancient Etruscans worshipped gods and burned sacred objects in their honour during the Bronze Age 3000 years ago. Experts from the Archeological Superintendency for southern Etruria and La Sapienza University in Rome found the site at Mount Cimino near Viterbo, 80 km north of Rome. The discovery is considered one of the most important in the early history of Lazio, the region surrounding Rome, with archaeological remnants dating back to 1000 BC. Working on the summit of the 1000-metre high mountain, the team of archaeologists led by Professor Andrea Cardarelli has carried...

The excavation of the Tomb of the Golden Scarab follows its discovery earlier this year in the archaeological site of Vulci, a former Etruscan city. Anthropological research helped back the theory that the tomb belonged to a princess within the ranks of the nascent Etruscan aristocracy. A few bones wrapped in precious cloth are all that remains of her. The excavation of...
