Italy on Tuesday put on display one of the best known examples of Etruscan painting, from a tomb that has become the latest acquisition in the Culture Ministry’s buying spree of big-ticket pieces of the country's 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, one of Italy’s ancient noble families whose vast collection of antiquity has long been kept out of the public domain.
