Arrival on the  splendid coast of  Maremma, the southern Tyrrhenian seaside. Overnight stay.

4^th day  You will have the entire day to visit the necropolis at Baratti and the settlements at Populonia and Vetulonia.

 6^th day Tarquinia:  visit of the city and  Etruscan necropolis. Little remains of the architecture, although we do know that the Etruscans introduced the use of the arch and vault. The necropolis, or "city of the dead", with its traces of architecture, sculpture and painting, allows us to witness the evolution of their art forms, thanks to the wealth of jewelry and small artifacts, sculpted sarcophagi (Tarquinian tombs from the 4^th century on display the  bas-relief figure of the deceased reclining on the stone cover) the well conserved mural paintings of hunting and fishing scenes. There are various different types of tombs, the most diffuse being those built on a circular plan.

You will dine in the characteristic quarter of Trastevere and later  go toss your coins in the world-famous Trevi Fountain. Overnight hotel stay.
