Cortona - Italian Movie Trips

Now a small, serene town set in the hills, Cortona may be one of the oldest towns in Italy. The fact that it was a major Etruscan capital may explain why a large Etruscan museum and Etruscan art gallery are here and why Cortona is the home of the Etruscan Academy, where students of history continue to study the civilization which probably bequeathed us our modern Latin alphabet, among other things. With incredible views of Lake Trasimeno and an active artist community, it's also an excellent place to relax.
