Baratti Gulf
Baratti Gulf: on the coastal area between Livorno and Grosseto,
immersed in a pristine pine grove, and home to many beautiful beaches.
The Etruscan Coast, the Gulf of Baratti The Gulf of Baratti takes its
name from the town of Baratti, located at the southern end, near which
there are characteristic Etruscan burial mounds. The bay
measures about one by one and a half kilometers and is surrounded by
numerous archaeological sites from both the Etruscan and Roman times,
united in the Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia. Populonia, in
ancient times was one of the largest and most important Etruscan and
Roman cities. The ancient town is located in a dominant position on
one of the promontories that form the Gulf of Baratti. Etruscan
Places: Travels Through Forgotten Italy The Etruscan civilisation,
which flourished from the 8th until the 5th century BC in what is now
Tuscany, is one of the most fascinating and mysterious in history. An
uninhibited, elemental people, the Etruscans enthralled D.H. Lawrence,
who craved their 'old wisdom', the secret of their vivacity and love
of life. To him they represented the antithesis of everything he
despised in the modern world, perhaps because their spontaneity and
naturalness struck a chord with his own quest for personal and
artistic freedom - so often censured or repressed. Lawrence approaches
the enigmatic Etruscans as a poet, passionately and searchingly, and
so the reader is swept up in his luminous descriptions of a utopian
world where dancing and feasting, art and music were everything. The
exhilaration of Lawrence in his Etruscan adventures stands in stark
contrast to his intimations of the darkness of Mussolini's Italy - at
a time when Europe was beginning its inexorable drift towards tragedy.
The last of Lawrence's travel books, 'Etruscan Places' is an ephemeral
and vivid account, replete with hauntingly evocative descriptions of
the way of life of this once great civilisation.
