	Poggio Porsenna Farm Guesthouse - Proceno (Viterbo)
		The Agriturismo Farmhouse Poggio Porsenna is located upon a hilly area in Lazio region, in the Northern part of Tuscia, the ancient land of the Etruscans.
		Poggio Porsenna is a typical example of the rural Tuscan architecture, recently restructured though it maintains its rustic flavour together with modern conforts.
		Poggio Porsenna is the ideal place to spend a holiday intimately in touch with the nature, with a full immersion in an almost unreal silence.

	CRITIQUE :: The Etruscans
		Photographs of reconstructions of King Porsenna’s mausoleum reveal a striking resemblance to the temples in Petra, Jordan and to the Lama-Buddhist temple in Peking.
		Although the chansons de geste of King Porsenna were always based upon a shred of reality, in that magic and everything-is-possible atmosphere subsequent Etruscan fables continued to magnify the legend of the world’s latest labyrinth.
		Porsenna’s people dedicated great attention to their tombs and to sacrifices so that their life after death would be long and happy.

	The Tiber - New York Times
		With a number of other girls, Cloelia eluded the guards, swam across the river under a hail of missiles and brought her company safely to Rome, where they were all restored to their families.
		The Romans sent her back; Porsenna praised her publicly; friendly relations were restored, and the Romans paid tribute to Cloelia's courage, unprecedented in a woman, by an equally unprecedented honor: her statue on horseback on the Via Sacra.
		Porsenna's headquarters was at Clusium (now the town of Chiusi) near the border between Tuscany and Umbria.

	The lost tomb of Porsenna - Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums
		According to Pliny the elder, the king was buried "sub urbe Clusio", under the city of Clusium, in an underground maze of tunnels and passageways.
		Amongst the many treasures which accompanied the deceased king in his ethernal rest, was, according to tradition, a gold chariot, upon which the coffin was placed, together with a still more valuable treasure, the sacred "Libri Fulgurales", dealing with magick and the art of evoking storms and lightening.
		As a matter of fact, Porsenna is still held as a powerful wizard, the king who burned to the ground the city of Velsinii with lightening, and who killed by the same means a monster called Olt, maybe a huge bore.

	Poplicola by Plutarch
		Poplicola, not so much esteeming Porsenna's enmity dangerous to Rome as his friendship and alliance serviceable, was induced to refer the controversy with Tarquin to his arbitration, and several times undertook to prove Tarquin the worst of men, and justly deprived of his kingdom.
		When Porsenna saw the maiden returned, demanding who was the author and adviser of the act, and understanding Cloelia to be the person, he looked on her with a cheerful and benignant countenance, and, commanding one of his horses to be brought, sumptuously adorned, made her a present of it.
		Porsenna, thus reconciled to the Romans, gave them a fresh instance of his generosity, and commanded his soldiers to quit the camp merely with their arms, leaving their tents, full of corn and other stores, as a gift to the Romans.

		[2] We are told that Porsenna received twenty noble hostages: ten males, including Horatius, son of the consul Horatius, [264] and ten females of marriageable age, including Valeria, daughter of the consul Valerius Poplicola, and Cloelia [3] (Dionysius of Halicarnassus 5.32.3; Silius Italicus Punica 10.492-3; Plutarch Poplicola 18.2 and 19.2; Moralia 250).
		Porsenna’s claim to be the arbiter of the quarrel between Rome and the Tarquins.
		In Livy (2.13.4) the hostages are a substitute for an Etruscan garrison on the Janiculum.

		To ensure the peace with Rome, Lars Porsenna, the Etruscan king of Clusium, had been given a number of young Romans to hold as hostages.
		Porsenna was very angry when he learned of the hostages' escape but after a time came to admire the courage of this young woman.
		Rather than consider that the treaty had been broken, he promised that Cloelia would be safe in his camp if she were returned, and he further promised that he would return her unharmed to her parents when his troops were safely out of Roman territory.

	Caius Mucius Scaevola
		In the third year of the Roman republic (507 according to the Varronian chronology; 505/504 or 504/503 in the common chronology), the Etruscan king Lars Porsenna besieged Rome, hoping to bring back its last king, Tarquin the Proud.
		When he is brought before Porsenna, the man shows his contempt for torture and pain by voluntarily placing his right hand in a fire.
		Impressed by this steadfastness, Porsenna releases him, and Mucius answers to this gentle act by informing the king that there are no less than 300 men in Rome who have sworn to kill Porsenna.
