Abstract
Ati the Etruscan is a 3D character developed in Blender at VisitLab Cineca. It can be considered as a versatile mascot of the Etruscan civilization, part of the recent efforts sustained in Italy by different cultural institutions to promote knowledge about the Etruscans. It can also be seen as an example of a methodology in educational video making, based on open source, multiple re-use and sharing of 3D assets opened towards new cross-media applications.
