Ancora sulla Casa dell'Impulvium di Roselle

The article deals with a volume (Donati 1994) on the excavation of an Etruscan house carried out on the north slope of Roselle during the 1980s. The field work had recovered a continuous development of domestic architecture on the site running from the Orientalising period to the early decades of the 5th century B.C., the last being the construction of the Casa dell'Impluvium in the mid-6th century B.C.
The building was centred around an atrium with impluvium, the first example of this type in Italy. Its remains offer the possibility of reconstructing the original architecture and organisation of life, room by room.
The article answers the questions and discusses the problems suggested by some scholars.
