What substance is there in the famous, almost legendary "originality" of Etruscan art? The question has been discussed for years. In this book Professor Mansuelli recognizes the "Villanova geometric style" as the matrix from which all subsequent Etruscan art was drawn. He emphasizes the importance of Greek influences, with the proviso that too close a relationship must not be looked for.
