In the Etruscan age the area of Castiglion Fiorentino was a very interesting centre of culture and markets. The main street that leads to Rome passed trough Castiglion Fiorentino andCortona, and this gave the possibility to have lot of exange with other people. The IV to the II century B.C. is the period of Etruscan domination in all of Tuscany and part of the northern and southern regions.

After this the Roman domination, the Etruscans became part of them until they disappeared as a race, but the Romans learned from them the most important techniques about buildings, arts and agricultural rules.

It is still now possible to very easily find on the ground chips of bricks or vases as a testament of this past age.
