This area was once a metropolis Etruria chief city of great League but it died like other Etruscan cities and had a more or less rebirth with a new name, as it was known for centuries as Corneto - Corgnetum or Cornetium and forgotten was its Etruscan past. Then there was a feeble sort of wakening to remembrance a 150 years ago and the town got Tarquinia tacked on to its Corneto; the town is once more simply Tarquinia. It poses one of the most interesting museums outside of Rome in the last year the city has under gone a make over.
