  Urnfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The brown area is the Danubian culture, the blue area is the Terramare culture and the green area is the West European Bronze Age.
The Urnfield culture grew from the preceding tumulus culture.
The numerous hoards of the Urnfield culture and the existence of fortified settlements (hill forts) were taken as evidence for widespread warfare and upheaval by some scholars.

The purple area is the Lusatian culture, the central blue area is the Knoviz culture, the red area is the central urnfield culture, and the orange area is the northern urnfield culture.
It is contemporaneous with the Urnfield culture that is found from eastern France via southern Germany and Austria to Hungary and the Nordic Bronze Age in northwestern Germany and Scandinavia.
In Poland, the Lusatian culture is taken to span part of the Iron Age as well (the is only a terminological difference) and is succeeded by the Pommeranian culture.

 Origins of the Etruscans
The Etruscan culture was flourishing during the the sixth century B.C.; i.e., the century of the 500's B.C. As the Etruscan culture burgeoned it ran into constraint on its expansion due to strong cultures and geographic confinements bordering its home region.
The Villanovan Culture was influenced and displaced by the cultures of the Greeks and later the Etruscans.
Terramare: Prehistoric (Second millenium B.C.) settlements in the Po River Valley built on pilings and surrounded by an embankment and moat to protect them from flood waters as well as invaders.

 Karl Sierek: Ophüls and the culture of difference
In this repressive cultural climate, a political liberalism supported by an emancipated Jewry was able to take root and help in conceiving a natural science based science of man, and not least, an aesthetics of modernism.
The cultural and aesthetic discourses in progress during that period in Vienna cannot be fully understood without considering the mutually-related discourse pairs desire and censorship, or better: desire as a consequence of censorship.
Although for him, Terramare's Erfüllung was certainly dangerous terrain into which he has been despatched - probably without having any real influence on the choice himself - by the none too well-meaning Burg Theatre administrators, it nevertheless gave rise to some of the most complex aesthetic concepts for his later films.

The province of Modena is rich in cultural institutions and assets belonging to a historical and artistic heritage of national and international repute.
More recent history is represented in the museums of the Resistance (Deportees' Museum of Carpi and Montefiorino) and of material culture in its different aspects, including technology and manufacturing, connected with the present-day economic reality (Galleria Ferrari at Maranello, Scales Museum at Campogalliano, Tiles Museum at Sassuolo).
Tourism in the province of Modena is generated by the specific business and manufacturing activities, the cultural itineraries, monuments and places of historic and artistic interest, and the physical and geographic features of the mountains of Modena that attract holidaymakers in both summer and winter.

Consequently, they try to preserve the remaining evidence of a millenary culture which has undergone a progressive decline, but which is now strongly recovering the dignity which it deserves.
The aim of the village and of the volunteers who conceived the cultural project is to demonstrate the interdependence between culture and environment in the lake area near Mantua and in the natural territory of Il Serraglio, which lies among the Mincio, Oglio and Po rivers.
All of this, which then gave rise  to the cultural association "Museo della Civiltà Contadina" (Museum of the Farm Life), was made possible thanks to the collaboration of children, parents and  the elderly, coordinated by the teacher Silvano Ragazzi.

 Lusatian culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lusatian culture existed in the later Bronze Age and early Iron Age (1300 BC-500 BC) in eastern Germany, most of Poland, parts of Czech Republic and Slovakia (in older articles described also as Czechoslovakia) and parts of Ukraine.
In Poland, the Lusatian culture is taken to span part of the Iron Age as well (the is only a terminological difference) and is succeeded by the Pomeranian culture.
There were close contacts with the Nordic Bronze Age, and the Scandinavian influence on Pomerania and northern Poland during this period was so considerable that this region is sometimes included in the Nordic Bronze Age culture (Dabrowski 1989:73).

 Italy
Among the noted Neolithic cultures are those of Lagozza (Varese), Fiorano, Chiozza and Pescale (Emilia), with their square-mouthed and scratched decorated pots.
Instead, the Camunian culture, which has left its traces in the rock engravings of the lower Val Camonica (Brescia), began the development that was to continue throughout the Bronze Age.
Among the main Iron Age cultures are those of Golasecca (Varese) in north-west Italy and Atestine (Adige Valley) mainly in the Veneto, while the Villanovan culture, direct heir of the urnfield cultures (indicated as proto-Villanovan) spread throughout Emilia and the remainder of Central Italy, even reaching Campania (Pontecagnano).

Terramare Café, a sunny, relatively inexpensive refuge around the corner from the big-ticket French bistros lining Madison Avenue, bills itself, with typical Italian aplomb, as serving "New York's best espresso." This may or may not be the case.
Unlike most of Sullivan Street's wholesale clientele, who prefer his crusty ciabatta rolls or baguettes as the basic building block of their sandwiches, Terramare's sandwich press has unlocked the hidden potential of the thin, contoured pizza bianca.

 PREHISTORIC ITALY
Besides the already mentioned Terramare tribe, on the southern edge of the Po Valley, and the Villanovans, probably from Eastern Europe and settled throughout Central Italy, there were also the Umbrians to the east of the upper basin of the Tiber.
In this atmosphere of renewed vitality, culture also prospered with a new enthusiasm for the study of the classical world and a revaluation of interest in nature and man (humanism).
Though the culture of the Italian Renaissance was to continue for some considerable time to influence the rest of Europe, nevertheless Italy gradually became marginal to the cultural, scientific and political movements of modern Europe.

For this purpose a longline system for mussel and oyster culture and an offshore floating/submersed ring for seaweed culture were installed, in cooperation with the Research Center Terramare (Wilhelmshaven).
The advantage of submersible culture constructions are the avoidance of the impact of harsh weather conditions and strong wave mechanics.
Thus, a combination of these techniques with the main pillar (tripod or jacket) of the windmill installation dispenses the need for a sophisticated and expensive mooring of the aquaculture system, which would also impact strongly on the benthic ecosystem.

The Terramare were Bronze Age villages that sprang up in Emilia and in the central region of the Po valley around the middle of the second millennium B.C. Each settlement, usually rectangular-plan, was built with artificial fortifications, generally composed of high embankments reinforced with wood palisades and surrounded by moats.
The lodges were often built on platforms supported on poles, similar to pile-dwellings, but placed on dry land and not over the water of a lake, a system to isolate them from the humidity of the terrain.
Studies have brought to light that the Terramare were the expression of a quite wealthy and technologically and culturally advanced society that disappeared around 1180 B.C. in a quite abrupt and misterious manner.

By 2000 BC immigrants from the east had brought the art of metalworking to southern Italy and Sicily; while northern Italian cultures of the same period developed strong links with cultures north of the Alps.
During the Bronze Age (c.1800-1000 BC), most of central and southern Italy had unified to a culture known as the Apennine, recognized by large agricultural and pastoral settlements.
After c.1500 BC, in the northern Italian Po Valley, the terramare culture -known for building its villages on wooden piles, its new techniques of bronze workings, and its cremation rites- rose to prominence.

 ARCHEOLOGY IN VAL TREBBIA, PIACENZA, ITALY
In the Trebbia valley the earliest evidence of man's presence consists of stone implements, which are ascribed to the end of the lower Paleolithic, more precisely to the final period of the Acheulean culture, which dates back to about 150,000 years ago.
During the ancient Neolithic we find in this area several cultural groups, who can be distinguished on the ground of their ceramic production; we could cite among them the group of Fiorano, spread from Romagna to the Enza river, and that of Vhó di Piadena in the middle-western plain.
At that time the region of Piacenza was a frontier country: it was affected by the Terramare to the East, by less known aspect, characteristics of the north-western Italy, to the South and perhaps to the West.

At Muraccio site prehistoric remains were distributed on a large surface and mostly belonging to Terramare culture; in M test pit however, just below the upper part of the deposit containing Bronze Age materials, a cavity filled with Neolithic artifacts has been found.
The structure (dug in river sands and silts with pebbles of quite big dimensions) was of irregular circular shape with a diameter of around 5 m., flat bottom and a depth of around 40 cm.
The scarcity of pottery artifacts, the absence of clear evidence of agricultural practices, the small sites of Pian di Cerreto and Muraccio(even if partly due to post-depositional factors), show an occasional neolithic presence in the area, mostly connected to the exploitation of raw materials such as jasper and steatite.
