Etruscan civilisation arose out of contact with the Greeks. The Greeks established colonies (settlements) in southern Italy from the late 9th century to the 6th century BC. Because it was a more advanced civilisation, the Greeks had a big impact on all the Italic peoples it came into contact with.
The settlers of the first Greek settlement (on the island of Ischia, near Naples) were looking for metals. Etruria had rich mines. This started extensive traders between the Greeks and the Etruscans which created prosperity in Etruria and gave rise to the Etruscan civilisation. The Greeks sold pottery and other manufactures. The Etruscans adopted and adapted Greek artistic themes and styles. This has been called the Orientalising Period. Its name is derived from the fact that Greek art in this period, in its turn, was influenced by the art of the Orient through contacts with the Middle East. It adopted themes and styles from the Assyrians and the Egyptians. Etruscans art also used orientalised art., particularly that styles from Corinth and Attica (the area around Athens). The also (like all other italic peoples later) adopted and adapted the western Greek alphabet to develop their own written language.

Greeks and Etruscans
Roman society is said to have been influenced by two cultures, the Greeks and the Etruscans. The Etruscans more than likely influenced Roman society and Roman culture more heavily because Rome was surrounde4d by Etruscan territory and was ruled by Etruscan kings. The Greek influence came about as a result of Roman expansion.

Early Rome was influenced by two of her neighbours, the Sabines and the Etruscans, and by the Greeks who lived in southern Italy. Over time the influence of the Sabines and the Etruscans faded, while that of the Greeks increased.
The Greeks were the most influential. The Romans based their art and culture primarily on theirs. Also the Etruscans were a much smaller influence.
Mostly from the Greeks, who influenced the Romans greatly in architecture and sculpture. The Etruscans were also an influence, but to a much lesser extent.
Both the Greeks and the Etruscans had a positive influence on Rome, but it can be argued that the Greeks had a greater impact. The Greeks introduced the Romans to important aspects of their culture, such as art, literature, philosophy, and architecture, which greatly influenced Roman society. The Etruscans, on the other hand, played a role in shaping Rome's political structure and urban planning. However, Greek culture had a more profound and lasting influence on Rome's overall development.
In her early days Rome was influenced by the Sabines, the Etruscans and the Greeks. The influenced of the former two soon waned. Greek influence persisted and increased.
