TOSCANA EXTRA ITINERARIES
Are you a fan of Bella & Edward? Do you want to follow their steps in "New Moon", both the book and the movie? Montepulciano and Volterra are the cities to go. The most poignant moments of their love story take place in these fascinating jewels of medieval and Renaissance architecture. In "New Moon", author writer Stephenie Meyer tells us that Edward seeks death in Volterra but director Chris Weitz decided to shoot the movie in Montepulciano, so if you really want to "taste" the story and see the movie set, plan to spend two days in Tuscany and enjoy the many different beauties of these cities. You'll have the chance to see the square with the fountain where the lovers are reunited, the Volturi Palace, the dungeon where the vampire take Bella and Edward on their way to Aro's judgement and more. Montepulciano is home of one of the best Tuscan wines, the Nobile of Montepulciano, and has historical and artistical treasures to show and artisanal ones to buy. Volterra stands like an eagle in its nest in the middle of the country between Pisa and Siena provinces, and it owns its reputation in History to the fortress-castle where the Count-Archibishop ruled during the Medieval centuries. The city offers a variety of artistical products in alabaster and a museum to boost.
