Volterra in Tuscany


Tuscany is particularly known and appreciated by tourists from around the world for its small and ancient villages. They're real gems hidden through hills and valleys almost heavenly.

In this large group of preserved historic towns you find certainly the town of Volterra, of Etruscan origin, but rich in the remains and ruins of Roman time and especially of architecture and urban structures typical of the medieval period.

Volterra, in the province of Pisa, is a magical world that seems still to the past. Its historic center, by a singular and characteristic beauty, was chosen as location to shoot a film of the "Twilight" saga. This has contributed to make Volterrra very famous at international level.
