Can anyone direct me towards a good, recent (i.e. last 10 years) study
that has been done on Etruscan sites in Campania? I am particularly
interested in any religious sites: temples, shrines, etc. Preferably
in English although Italian is also okay. Thanks.

_Quaderni del Centro di Studio per l'archeologia etrusco-
italica_(Rome:
Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche, 1978- ) might be useful. An
older
book by T. J. Cornell,_The Beginnings of Rome: Italy and Rome from
the Bronze Age to the Punic Wars, c.1000-264 BC_(New York: Rout-
ledge, 1995), provides much detailed and documented background
information. An up-to-date if superficial overview of Etruscan
culture
is in F. Borrelli and M. C. Targia,_The Etruscans: Art, Architecture,
and History_(Los Angeles: Getty Publications, 2004).

You can also search the Etruscan sections of_L'Année philologique_
(Paris: Société Nationale de Bibliographie Classique, 1924- ), which
gives exhaustive annual bibliographic updates on books and articles
pertaining to classical antiquity (available online with
subscription).

These are great suggestions. If I might go one step further and ask if
anyone could point me in the right direction for information regarding
Italic (i.e. non-Roman and non-Greek) religious beliefs and practices.
Most of what I find when search for ancient Italic religion seems to
be Roman with little mention of anything else. I understand there
would be much less information available regarding other Italic
cultures due to the scarcity of written evidence (inscriptions,
documents, etc). I am just hoping that I may have simply missed
hearing of any new materials. My main interest is in the religious
practices and beliefs of Oscan-speaking, Sabellian peoples like the
Samnites, Lucanians, and Bruttians, as well as the ancient Apulian
peoples.
Thanks again.
