Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the phase of Villanovan style and culture defined by artifacts at the type site in Bologna, on land owned by the Arnoaldi family. It existed from around 700 BCE to around 450 BCE and overlapped with Etruscan culture, though most scholars believe it is distinct from Etruscan culture.
