Ancient lessons for modern times


Etruskens are famous for their artistique craftsmanship, but after today I wonder whether it were men or women who made the famous jewelry. Then we learned today that Etrusken women were very emancipated, literate, kept their own name when married, had businesses, were not obliged to have the husbands permission for going out…Whow!!!!! Three thousand years ago. We have certainly not moved forward much, on the contrary. No doubt they knew a lot about food and health and beauty…We will learn more about it tomorrow, cannot wait.

Other highlight of this day: the lessons of Anna Di Muzio, who also referred to ancient knowledge in combination with local practices. Concerning health and the role of food and herbs. It gives hope for these so called modern times, that is if we do what we can to save this important information, before it gets lost in the mediastorms which blow over and in our houses, whenever possible. Let us keep sailing, girls, please. Maybe the Etrusken women were good sailors as well….Ally
