A "Twilight" made this Tuscan town, so he gave it a new name, Vampire Town. The town of Volterra is home to the "Volturi Vampire Family" invented in Twilight's second Novel, New Moon, and the film was also filmed here. In fact, Volterra became the hometown of the "Volturi vampire" purely a writer's invention, but the film director decided to choose an ancient city in the Tuscany region of Italy to shoot. The director presents the map of Tuscany to the writer and asks her to choose the city. When Mel saw Volterra's name, he exclaimed that its pronunciation was similar to Volturi, so he decided to go there to shoot it.
According to research, the history of Volterra dates back to the 8th century BC, founded by the mysterious and legendary Etruscan people. The city has an important political and economic position in the Tuscan region. Volterra, like other small Tuscan towns, has preserved its medieval style, with staggered staircase alleys and quaint yellow buildings. Volterra traffic is not very convenient, secretly glad of their own wisdom, if not by car, such a chartered day trip is too suitable for Tuscany.
Eat at a restaurant in front of the town, still pasta, salads, pizza...
A Chinese meal, the basic per capita more than 10 euros.
Except for a few of us who rarely saw anyone else.
I love to look at the sky, the clouds are cirrus, and any posture.
I have a deep alley complex
Deep alleys,
Meandering can not see the head,
I walked in the alley
I couldn't knock on that thick wall
If you like to visit the ancient city, you will love Volterra.
Most of the ancient city is full of narrow streets...
On both sides of the street, there are various ancient buildings of different periods.
Walk through an open park where many locals are lazy to sit around.
In front of the viewing platform, you can see the undulating terrain of Tuscany in the distance.
It's not very typical, but it's still beautiful.
A lot of people sit here in a daze and stay for hours.
Arriving at Volterra, I feel that "The Twilight Zone" was chosen here, not by accident, the ancient castles, streets, alleys, and light from the sun all carry a mysterious charm of the Middle Ages.
A baby on the street, looking at most more than a year old, followed us for a short distance, not afraid of birth, and his parents were watching happily on the side, simply expression emperor, too cute and too cute.
