Italy’s history isn’t frozen in time. It’s still being uncovered, layer by layer. In this episode of Italian Summer Shorts, I’m sharing some of the most exciting archaeological finds made this year across the country.
From a perfectly preserved Etruscan tomb to a newly revealed Greek gymnasium in Sicily and life-sized Dionysus frescoes in Pompeii, these discoveries are helping us rethink what we know about ancient Italy.
You’ll also learn:
– Why the Iron Age matters
– How Greek and Etruscan cultures shaped Roman life
– Why these finds should still excite you—even if you can't visit them in person
Whether you’re already in Italy or just planning your dream trip, this episode will give you a deeper sense of what’s beneath your feet—and why it still matters today.
