Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages.

Original Narrative: Chiusi has suffered many vicissitudes, and offers in the present day little evidence of its former greatness, beyond a few remains interesting to the scholar and the antiquary. In picturesque beauty, however, it claims general regard. Seated on an eminence, in the midst of a fertile neighbourhood, it overlooks the lake to which it gives name, and commands extensive and varied prospects of singular beauty. The cathedral has evidently been constructed from the remains of more ancient structures; a1 fact which accounts for the disappearance of the monuments of Clusium. This building presents, in other points of view, nothing that claims extended notice. Chiusi is principally interesting in our day, for its museums of Etruscan antiquities, and, more especially, as being the City of Sepulchres. The museum of Signor Casuccini is esteemed one of the finest collections of Etruscan remains now existing. It includes every known variety of vase, with a large assemblage of sarcophagi and sepulchral monuments ; and it is receiving daily accessions. The tombs in the ancient necropolis of the city are numerous, and have " an awe about them placed," created by historical associations. The tomb of Porsenna cannot be determined with precision; of four large tumuli which yet remain, each claims to be the mausoleum of the great Etrurian king. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
