"It is as if the current of some different life swept through them - as if they drew their vitality from different depths that we are denied" (D. H. Lawrence)
The Etruscans, that strange people who lived in central Italy before the Romans, left behind them extraordinary cities of the dead once full of their most precious possessions. And yet for all these riches we do not know what language they spoke nor what their origins were.
In this Chronicle programme Bernard Keeffe explores the tantalising facts.
With Dr John Wilkins and David Ridgway
(Alec McCowen is a National Theatre player)
