The book La sonrisa etrusca ("The Etruscan Smile") originally written in Spanish was written by the Spanish economist and writer José Luis Sampedro in 1985.

While disliking life in the northern city, the relations between the rough old man and his tender grandson evolve, transforming his life during his final days.
