They were in a region fairly close to Rome. So Italy would be the modern answer.

Italy. The Etruscans date back to before the founding of Rome.

The Etruscans are a non-Indo European culture, so they were likely there in what we call Tuscany (Etruria to the Romans) for far longer than the other cultures in the area (who are all Indo-European).
There were stories that they came from the Middle East or were members of the "Peoples of the Sea" that ransacked the Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age (1150 BC or so); but there has been little, if any, proof to back this up.

The Etruscans were a historical pre-cursor to the Greeks and Romans. They occupied an area between Greece and Italy.

people are really divided on this one, some believe Lydia, while others believe Lebanon. I've even heard that they originated in Italy.
