(1941–1997)
The highly innovative archaeologist of the Etruscans who brought new ideas, including settlement archaeology and anthropological concepts of trade and exchange, to Etruscan studies. He also contributed to debates on Etruscan art, language, and material culture. Moveover, he is known for his fieldwork at Volterra, Populonia, and, above all, Caere, where he undertook excavations within the settlement itself.
