Italy is putting on display one of the best known examples of Etruscan painting. The frescoes come from an ancient tomb that has become the latest acquisition in the Culture Ministry’s buying spree of big-ticket pieces of cultural heritage. The ministry announced in May that it had acquired the fresco panels, dating from the 4th century, from members of the Torlonia family. The Torlonias are one of Italy’s ancient noble families whose collection of antiquity has long been kept out of the public domain. The tomb was discovered in 1857 on land owned by the Torlonia family.
