subject: Are there Really Vampires in Volterra in Tuscany? [print this page] Vampire of the Twilight books supposedly had Etruscan beginnings, something which they have got in common with the town of Volterra in Tuscany. Volterra has almost no crime rates and as outlined by the books, this is because of the anonymous but still highly felt presence of the Volturri.
Because of the highly imaginative author, the fans have difficulty separating fact from fiction when they see that there's an actual town and they could visit it in exactly the same place which was written about.There is definitely an August festival which people can join in and this is the Augustan festival, however, this is not the exact same festival which the characters found themselves caught in. However, this isn't the exact festival as in the books, as to the clock tower scene, there's also none to be found in this town, there are no vampires; however the remainder are real and can be visited. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is found in the same area as Volterra in Tuscany, the province of Pisa. All tourists get to take advantage of the sights and sounds of ancient streets, spas and monuments, get to sleep in modern hotels built inside ancient buildings and take advantage of the food and culture that the Romans established a very long time ago. It doesn't have to be the thought of blood and mystery as offered by vampiric tales to make Volterra a 'must see' place, it is due to what the town has to provide that makes it stand out among the choices for places to visit.
In the last three years, since the favored movies of the Twilight Saga came out, more and more people have visited this ancient Tuscany vacation town and they saw for themselves the magic of ancients. They have monuments and buildings in such a town that may be dated for a thousand years and they're still in great condition. What is more, the food that are offered show the true side of Etruscan cuisine which only the Italians can perform justice.
