Etruscan of the PO valley Between the VII and the V century b.C. the influence of the Etruscan culture crossed the Appennines. There were several Etruscan settlements in the Po Valley for example, Mantua, Felsini (Bonomia the modern Bologna), Marzabotto, Placentia (Piacenza), all the way down to the towns on the Adriatic sea such as Adria, that gives its name to the said sea, Ravenna, Spina, Verrucchio (Rimini), etc… These settlements not only received the Greek influence but also by entering into commercial exchange of goods, they came into contact with the culture of Celtic and Venetian populations. (Boii, Cimbri, Cenomani, Insubri, Rahetii, etc). Business exchanges were by sea and across the Alps.
