Visit to Villa Giulia, Rome

A second visit to Villa Giulia.(We went there last time we were in Rome) It is a large palace built by Pope Julius III in 1551-1553 on what was then the edge of the city.
Now it houses the Museo Nazionale Etrusco, a collection of Etruscan art and artifacts, which is why we were there.
I love the fact that the faces are timeless... these could be relations.




There was a reconstruction of an Etruscan tomb (below)
