Felsina, on the site of modern Bologna, Italy, was founded by the Etruscans around 510 BCE in an area rich in Villanovan remains.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by Britannica's dedicated Felsina entry with exact matching details; corroborated by Oxford Classical Dictionary. Minor date variation (mid-6th century vs 510 BCE) across sources reflects normal scholarly estimate range, not contradiction.
