As usual, a more nearly complete small website will be forthcoming, by and by. For good fairly detailed historical information, see the article Viterbo (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911); and for further, more complete information, see the sites linked in the navigation bar at the foot of the page. More specialized (or to speak truly, more idiosyncratic) pages currently onsite:

If you are planning a trip to the area, you should find it interesting and maybe even useful to read the Nov. 11‑12, 1994 entries of my diary, with additional photos; for more complete and detailed general information on the town, you should see the websites in the navigation bar at the bottom of this page, of course.

The serious student with an interest in the Etruscans will not want to miss the little chapter on Viterbo in George Dennis's Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria, in which he talks mostly of a nexus of frauds perpetrated on historians by the notorious forger Annio of Viterbo whose all-consuming life ambition was to make us all think that his city was the greatest of all Etruscan cities (it wasn't).

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
