Before Rome ruled the world, another civilization was already flourishing on the Italian peninsula — one marked by vibrant art, lavish tombs, and sacred rituals. Known as the Etruscans, this sophisticated culture laid the groundwork for many Roman traditions, yet much of their story remains shrouded in mystery. How did such an influential people help shape the ancient world, and then seemingly vanish from it? It's time to uncover the legacy of this enigmatic society whose echoes still resonate through ancient art and architecture.

Join New York Adventure Club as we journey into the world of the Etruscans. This refined and influential civilization thrived in central Italy from the 8th to 3rd centuries BCE, with customs, beliefs, and artistic innovations that profoundly shaped the rise of Rome — even as their own origins and ultimate fate remain elusive.

Led by French and Italian art historian Tosca Ruggieri, this richly illustrated virtual exploration into Etruscan art, archaeology, and daily life will include:

• Insights into the origins of Etruscan civilization and how their early development in central Italy laid the foundation for a thriving culture
• A discussion around Etruscan religious beliefs and cultural practices that profoundly influenced Roman rituals and social customs
• A look at extraordinary Etruscan tombs and painted frescoes that vividly depict banquets, rituals, and mythological narratives
• An overview of their mastery in metalwork, pottery, and sculpture, prized across the ancient Mediterranean for its beauty and craftsmanship
• An exploration of their enduring legacy, and why understanding the Etruscans is essential to grasping the roots of Western civilization

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Tosca — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!

About Tosca
Growing up amongst the artistic treasures of North-Eastern France and Tuscany, art inspired Tosca from an early age. This led her to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History in Paris as well as a Master’s Degree in Art & Archaeology from EPHE-Sorbonne. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Arts & Cultural Management from King’s College London.
After a career in art galleries across London and teaching art history at French universities, Tosca embarked on creating Art with Tosca to share her passion for art. In D.C., Tosca crafts and leads curated tours of the National Gallery of Art, highlighting the museum’s collection of masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance to Modern masters.
Tosca wants to make art history accessible, interesting and engaging by transporting guests through centuries of art, either from the comfort of home through numerous lectures and virtual events, or locally in Washington D.C. through the halls of the National Gallery of Art.
