subject: Experiencing Old World Culture in the Town of Volterra in Tuscany [print this page] Part of the package of Tuscany vacations would be the recently popular town of Volterra which is shown alongside the greater famous sites such as Learning Tower of Pisa and the sandy beaches found in Versilia. The second book and movie showed the town of Volterra as an ancient town with ancient monuments inhabited by modern people and naturally, the vampires.
The town was supposedly under the protection of those Volturri and are said to still hold the guardianship over it which was the entire reason for their continued existence in the modern world. Of course, that was just part of the books and movie, however, since phenomenon that is Twilight has encompassed the world, the number and variety of tourists to Volterra has increased considerably in the past three years. People who wish to experience all things Twilight want to visit this town, to experience for themselves what the characters in the book experienced. The fans never get to see, however, the famous clock tower where Edward Cullen was supposedly planning to reveal himself to the world. This clock tower was pure imagination on the part of the author, although the movie made certain that they built one.
This town is equipped with modern facilities in the form of the hotel accommodations and villas that litter the area, but the fact that these hotels are inside ancient monuments themselves gives the visitors a sense of wonder of how such a town could exist for so long.
The ancient Romans build this town complete with spas, water tanks, roads and buildings, and their wonders remain functioning today. The people of the Tuscany town are quite focused to hold on to their ancient culture and ways. Visitors can relax and revel in their espressos while sitting in graceful cafes that line the ancient streets of the town, streets which were laid out by ancient Romans. This town will never fail the tourists. Even if there are no vampires here, nobody deny that visiting this place is an experience never to be forgotten no ignored.
