Rhythms and delights fast-flowing lives
Since the 19th century, lovers of antiquities did not tire of digging out layers of more than two millennia, until the lost world of the Etruscans was illuminated by the light of a new day. Reliefs and frescoes on the walls of the crypts, exquisite, expensive pieces of art that filled them, spoke about the activities and leisure of a bygone civilization. Here are hunters with bows and arrows chasing lions; their faces express adamant will and energy. Here are the dancers and musicians accompanying them by clicking the castanet and playing the flute. Here are the guests on the feasting boxes and servants scurrying around the kitchen centers. In any of the caves one could see scenes of bloody sacrifices of captives, as well as images of demons and winged horses from Etruscan myths.
In 1850, during the excavation of burial mounds in the necropolis of Cerveteri (ancient Ceres), an Italian nobleman named Giampietro Campana discovered a staircase carved into the rock and leading, as it turned out, to an unusual tomb guarded by two stone lions. Inside, it was more than 6 meters long and about 8 meters wide. Two square columns, more than 2 m high, supported the vault; luxurious lodges stood in deep niches. Fascinated by the richness of colors and shades, as well as by the bizarre stucco molding and unexpected architectural details, the Marquis of Campana called his find "La Tomba Belia" - "The Beautiful Tomb".
When the news of the tomb spread and began to be visited, it received a new name - "Tomb of Reliefs." And in fact, almost every part of its surface: walls, ceilings, cornices, flanks of columns - were hung with plaster reliefs of animals, weapons, household items and religious worship. There were especially a lot of household utensils - from skeins of twine and hoes to bottles of incense, from leather handbags to canes, etc. In one of the gypsum circles of cheese, the molder even squeezed traces of mouse teeth.
Items were, as it were, hung on the walls, as is usually the case in kitchens. The kitchen utensils seemed to be at the service of its ghostly owners, and the plaster pillows neatly folded on the boxes seemed to be waiting for someone's head to go down. At the foot of the beds were baskets with book scrolls, also made of plaster. If the owners of the crypt were awakened from hunger, their ghostly cook would find everything necessary for cooking: spoons and ladles. a set of knives with two varieties of blades, skewers for grilling meat, a pestle for grinding spices, clay pots and bronze vats with imaginary wine.
