Do you remember the movie twilight? Well it has been registered in some parts on the magical Volterra a town situated in the middle of Tuscany not far from Firenze and Pisa. Volterra have Etruscan and Roman origins and a long log history. It was also part of the Medici family and during the middle ages was often in war with Florence.

Volterra maintain the medieval look. But have an important Etruscan archeology site as you can see from the photo above. Here many tourists come to take photos and see the old city. It was a Roman theater and it's super to see,really big and impressive .

The trip was nice it was one day trip but really cool, we visited most of the places of Volterra also if we weren't able to visit the major museums because we don't have rent the ticket before.

Volterra it's really a charming town full of history!
