Etruscan and Roman Arezzo

Etruscan and Roman Arezzo

Arezzo was certainly founded by the Villanovan populations, after which it was influenced by the Etruscans and grew in importance until it became one of the twelve lacumonies of Etruria.

In the city there were many important shrines that had to be worthy of hosting among other famous bronzes, such as the Chimera , and which were adorned with terracotta of great aesthetic importance, due to an established local coroplastic school (finds of Piazza S. Jacopo and via Rome ). In the Poggio del Sole area there was instead the necropolis , also formed in the VI century BC and used until the Roman age.
