Abstract
Abstract Late Italian protohistory is characterized by innovative scenarios, in which the decline of the Aegean presence, which had characterized the previous phases in various areas of the peninsula, and the establishment in its place of trade with the eastern Mediterranean are significant elements. During the initial phases of the final Bronze Age, the Italian peninsula is characterized by substantial cultural homogeneity, with the appearance of the proto-Villanovan archaeological facies. In the early Iron Age, processes of differentiation will develop, and the archaeological facies become more widespread. The common elements in both ceramic and metallic production will be examined in detail, region by region, in this chapter.
