Chiusi (altitude: about 400 mt.) is a small town but has an almost unique historical and architectural heritage. Before the Roman conquest, Chiusi was the capital and main centre of the Etruscan State. Remains of its glorious past are visible in its extremely famous and well-preserved necropolis (Etruscan tombs) and the world-wide famous Museum of Etruscan relics. Today Chiusi is part of Tuscany ("Toscana") and is placed halfway between Rome and Florence, both of which can easily be reached just in one hour by car (through the Chiusi-Chianciano Junction on the A1 Rome-Florence highway 5 km from the house) and train (Chiusi station 2 km from the house, on the Rome-Florence line) also in about one hour. From Chiusi Scalo station it is also possible to reach Siena, Perugia e Arezzo with comfortable cross-country trains.
