Kainua (Marzabotto) is a practical and easily accessible summary of knowledge about this Etruscan city. Marzabotto is still a model for understanding various aspects of Etruscan cities, particularly those founded in later periods. Through the study of material culture, understood in its multiple aspects, the history of the city and its social components, the development of domestic and religious architecture, and the city's social and economic organization are reconstructed. -- Luca Cappuccini, professor of Etruscology and scientific director of the University of Florence archeological excavations at Monte Giovi, San Germano e Gonfienti The material in Kainua (Marzabotto) is a gold mine for archaeologists and students of ancient architectural history as well as for Etruscologists. The work of Elisabetta Govi and her predecessor, Giuseppe Sassatelli, has gone a long way toward making Marzabotto understood as a more complex place than it had originally been thought to be. This is the first comprehensive study in English of this critically important gateway Etruscan community of the Bologna area. -- David Soren, editor emeritus of Etruscan Studies
