\f1 \fs22 The temple is undoubtedly one of the most original and interesting monuments of Italic and Etruscan architecture
. The Etruscan temple presents profound differences in its forms, relationships, and spaces with respect to that of the \b \cf4 \ATXht1104 Greeks\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 . Its peculiar and constant characteristic is that it has a wooden structure, with brightly
colored facings combined with bricks and decorative terracottas. Even the proportions are different from the Greek temple: the very broad and projecting roof seems to squash the building into the ground; the \b \cf1 \ATXht3 columns\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 of th
e \b \cf1 \ATXht16 pronaos\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , widely spaced and set in several rows, take up almost half of the high stone podium, to which access is provided by a central flight of steps.
