Gli antichi Tirreni-Pelasgi

This essay is dedicated to the Tyrrhenian-Pelasgian civilization, also called “Rinaldone culture”, that has dominated unchallenged from 4,000 to 2,000 B.C. mainly in Central Italy. They established colonies in Greece, in the Cyclades, in Crete, and on the islands near the Anatolian coast, transferring their funerary and cultic rituals to these places as evidenced by archaeological finds and recent radiocarbon dating.
