A Classical archaeologist teaching in the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology (IPCAA) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Michigan, United States, Terrenato's expertise includes the Romanization of Italy and the archaeology of Etruria.

Since 2007, Terrenato has been director of the Gabii Project at the site of the ancient city of Gabii, approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of Rome.
