La collezione etrusca: osservazioni preliminari sulle urne cinerarie

A recent revision of the Classical collection preserved in the Museum was led by the author in the 2014-2015. The present contribution focuses on the Etruscan collection of the Museum that counts about thirty objects: vases, bronzes, terracotta statuettes and cinerary urns. A preliminary iconographical and stylistic study of the ten urns suggests to assign them to the artisanal production of ancient Chiusi and Perugia. The analyses of the inscriptions preserved confirm this provenance and provide important information about the composition of the Lodovico Pogliaghi’s antiquities collection.
