Located in one of Italy's extraordinary Etruscan necropolises, in a wild setting of chestnut woods, thick ferns, and scrub oaks, the tombs of Barbarano Romano provide the setting for Lappin's novel, The Etruscans.

They are easily accessed. There are no fences, but you need wellingtons to ford a narrow stream. The tombs are found in an area known as the Park of Marturanum which also includes a ruined medieval church and cloister, as well as a Roman bath. Approximately 90 minutes from Rome. In the nearby village of Barbarano Romano, there is a small but well-furnished Etruscan museum.
