Brunella and I drove about an hour north of Rome on April 2, a Saturday, to visit the Etruscan necropolis of the now ghost town of Norchia. It was populated as long ago as 700 B.C. and survived until about 1800 A.D. Now only the tombs carved into the surrounding canyons, and the walls of a medieval castle and church remain.
