Abstract

The areas of central Italy where the Etrusco-Latian civilization flourished – which was the cradle of Roman civilization – had all the environmental characteristics suitable for the growth of wild grape. The ancient inhabitants of these areas had learned to grow it, and possibly domesticate it, by training it onto trees. This ancient method of cultivating vines has an echo in the Roman historical and legendary tradition.
