Salvete omnes
This might seem a bit strange a topic, but nevertheless, I thought I might share this with you.
As some of you know, I have recently spent a month in China, mainly in Shanghai.
When I visited Shanghai Museum, there was a temporary exhibition about Etrurian art and civilisation, in cooperation with a museum in Firenze. It was a very interesting visit for me, with a lot of beautifull art pieces at display.
So you see that even in China, a country that has a formidable cultural heritage itself, there is interest in the (pre) roman civilisation.
