The Etruscan Chandelier of Cortona, a bronze masterpiece from the 5th century BC, was discovered in 1840 in the Fratta area and later acquired by the Accademia Etrusca after lengthy negotiations. Richly decorated with mythological motifs, it was likely used in sacred contexts. It is one of the most renowned and significant pieces of the MAEC, an extraordinary example of Etruscan bronze craftsmanship for its technique and symbolic value.
