Chianino is an Italo-Romance variety spoken in the southeast of the province of Siena. The analysed structures involve pairs of inflected verbs merged together. The candidates for the higher verb of the pair are (i) the root of the modal dové ‘must’ and (ii) the subjunctive form of avé ‘to have’. The second element of the pair can only be a non-suppletive inflected infinitive form of the verb èsse ‘to be’, as in the cases of the second person singular dev-ess-i ‘you must be’ and abbi-ess-i ‘you have to be’ (meaning: ‘you should be’). From a pragmatic point of view, the double inflected forms avé + èsse can only have epistemic readings, while dové + èsse can also have a jussive connotation. After having briefly introduced the variety under investigation, we will discuss observational and introspective data. We will then proceed to a formal analysis. Ado...

The analysis is lead in a linguistics perspective. Even if Etruscan is a Restprache, the linguistic material that came to us is enough to judge it like an agglutinant and not Indo-European tongue. Interlinguistics and comparative linguistics provide us the tools to demonstrate the external or casual provenience of Indo-European elements in Etruscan.

The first speaks about an inscription (ET Cl 8.5 - CIE 886) over the "Cippo Bucelli" now lost. The analysis pushes towards an interpretation that sees the inscription like a law prescription based over data of a land tansaction. In this is proposed a reinterpretation of the most important word of the text "claruchies" as a testimony of a military class in the Etruscan polis of Chiusi. It follows a discussion over the reliability of this paper, and more generally of Etruscan hermeneutic. The second part, taking the previous issues in account, presents an inedited Latin inscription over a well curb from Santi Betti collection of Chiusi. It is proposed some possible interpretations.

There are many height scholar studies concerning Etruscan hermeneutic. This paper tries to analyse the question of Etruscan interpretability by a epistemological and theoretical point of view. In the first part there is a short description of state of research which was placed next some theoretic interpretational tools. In the second, the heuristic principles of the first part are applied to a concrete case.

chiusino”) e racconta probabilmente anche di un dono votivo e di un Nume tutelare, prende spunto la mostra “(Ri)scrivere il Passato. Il nome etrusco di Chiusi e altre Storie” che propone all’attenzione del pubblico
testimonianze epigrafiche particolarmente significative conservate nei musei cittadini.
La mostra si inserisce all’interno della Giornata degli Etruschi 2019, promossa dal Consiglio Regionale della Toscana, per celebrare il conferimento del titolo di Granduca a Cosimo I de’ Medici, titolo che riecheggia
quello che gli storiografi attribuirono al re chiusino Porsenna.
L’iniziativa, resa possibile grazie al Consiglio Regionale della Toscana, al Comune della Città di Chiusi, al Polo Museale, al Gruppo Archeologico “Città di Chiusi”, e alla stretta collaborazione con la Soprintendenza
ABAP-SI, la Pontificia Commissione di Archeologia Sacra, l’Università di Roma Tre, il Museo Civico “La Città sotterranea”, il Museo della Cattedrale e la Fondazione Orizzonti d’Arte, è anche l’occasione per riproporre
all’attenzione del pubblico e degli studiosi il ricco patrimonio epigrafico etrusco e latino di Chiusi, attraverso un approccio non convenzionale e
innovativo, e un percorso arricchito, oltre che da questo catalogo, da un convegno, da un libro-gioco per i più piccoli, da conferenze periodiche e laboratori creativi sulla scrittura. Il catalogo propone materiali etruschi e romani dal VII sec. a.C. all’età tardoantica e all’Alto Medioevo configurandosi come un ulteriore approfondimento, “itinerante”, al percorso di visita, dalla Sala Mostre del Museo Nazionale, al Museo Nazionale stesso, al Museo Civico, a quello della Cattedrale, visitabili anche attraverso il costo agevolato di una
Chiusi Card.
Azioni e pensieri umani fissati mediante la scrittura su supporti non deperibili hanno superato secoli e millenni giungendo fino a noi, così da costituire una preziosa materia prima da leggere e interpretare per ricostruire
e riscrivere il passato di Chiusi e delle genti che vi abitarono.
Riproporre e raccontare queste “Storie” ha implicato una accurata selezione dei numerosissimi testi scritti a disposizione, e costretto ad affrontare lo studio dei materiali, noti e meno noti, con un taglio specialistico
ma nel contempo divulgativo e, per quanto possibile, considerata la materia estremamente complessa e tecnica, comprensibile al più vasto pubblico.
L’occasione ha poi stimolato in alcuni casi la proposta di nuove letture, alternative a quelle più ampiamente condivise, ha permesso di suggerire nuovi scenari e di formulare ipotesi di lavoro che costituiranno la necessaria premessa per ulteriori ricerche e approfondimenti.
