Tarquinia

Tarquinia, formerly Corneto, is an old city in the province of Viterbo, Lazio, Italy known chiefly for its ancient Etruscan tombs in the widespread necropoleis or cemeteries which it overlies, for which it was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.

In 1922 it was renamed after the ancient city of Tarquinii (Roman) or Tarch(u)na (Etruscan). Although little is visible of the once great wealth and extent of the ancient city, archaeology is increasingly revealing glimpses of past glories.

@Spott2940 asks:

We will be traveling to Rome in late April and will be spending 3 months in Italy in 2021. We would love to meet someone for coffee while we are in Rome just to talk about life in Italy as an expat. We are considering moving to Italy and are doing our research. Anyone interested in meeting up?
