Tuscana was an ancient town of Etruria, about 25 km northwest of Tarquinii (modern Tarquina, in central Italy).
It is hardly mentioned in ancient literature; it was a station on the road from Blera to Saturnia, a prolongation of the Via Clodia. On the hill of S. Pietro are remains of walling of the Roman period. A number of Etruscan tombs were found by the Campanari brothers in the eighth century, and their valuable contents are in various European museums.
