.
👉 Pic 2 - Temple of Alatri, "a model with the real dimensions of an Etruscan-Italic temple.. constructed between 1889 and 1890, on the basis of ruins found in Alatri in the immediately preceding years. The building repeats the decorative designs of the architectural terracottas of the original temple that dates between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. This reconstruction is one of the oldest experiments of open-air musealization of an archaeological complex." [txt ©ETRU]
