ISAW is pleased to announce our Spring Exhibition Rethinking Etruria, opening on April 23. Rethinking Etruria spotlights newly excavated material from two Italian sites—the sanctuary of Poggio Colla and the Lattanzi tombs from Norchia—and how these discoveries, alongside novel digital approaches, have revealed intriguing new insights about the Etruscan people and their still enigmatic culture. The show features some 50 objects from archaeological excavations as recent as 2024, many of which have never been displayed before, as well as 3D models, prints, and AI renderings that offer exciting new perspectives on these Etruscan sites. By combining archaeological finds and digital approaches, Rethinking Etruria shapes our vision of Etruscan society, amplifying the voices of its people and providing insights into their culture through their own words.

Rethinking Etruria is organized by ISAW in partnership with the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio per la Provincia di Viterbo e per l'Etruria Meridionale (SABAP-VT-EM) and the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle arti e Paesaggio per la città metropolitana di Firenze e le province di Pistoia e Prato (SABAP-FI). The Poggio Colla gallery is curated by Gregory Warden, Mark A. Roglán Director of the Custard Institute for Spanish Art and Culture at the Meadows Museum; Michael Thomas, Director of the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History at UT Dallas; and Maurizio Forte, William and Sue Gross Distinguished Professor of Classical Studies Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University.
