These photos are from one year ago when Flavia, my visiting uncle – who is on his way over right now again – and I went to Tarquinia and it was my first time.
It’s true that Italian towns are similar and yet each one surprises me in a fully new way. This is a collection of art on public display in Tarquinia 40 minutes from me and yet I visited it for the first time last September. Tuscany stops 10 km south of me, so this is already Lazio.
Meanwhile, in her detailed account of our recent adventures, Crystal crossed into Slovenia on her blog yesterday and it made me feel all warm inside. We did well.
And now my uncle is coming over to enjoy our warm sea and sand a bit more, and we might even go around a little to visit a new town that is dying to meet me.
Since I don’t have any information on the artists or architects, I simply invite you on a stroll with me around Tarquinia and we look and blink and click and no words are necessary.

Thank you, Teresa. Well, the thing is that my daily dog walks are always the same and by September I’m fed up with watching this yellow dry ground around me. Every time I move to a new place, my eyes are on holidays. 🙂

Tarquinia to me is Etruscan tombs and The Little Horses of Tarquinia by Marguerite Duras

Thank you, Sue. I haven’t heard of this book. The Etruscan tombs have done well without me all these years. 😉 I’m still waiting for a visitor with an interest in them. Goes the same for Vulci.

Thanks for the pingback! I love all of these photos, so vibrant and colourful. I especially love how you framed the horse, dancing in the verge. I also really like the statue of the two men leaning on their sticks.

What a great variety of art you found in one small place! The sculpture of the two men with sticks looks as if it has a story to tell 😀
