::volterra::


a well preserved medieval ramparts where "twilight" took the scene here. you're here for the volterra ad 1398 festival, though you experienced it without getting the admission ticket
the entire town is decorated, walking along the street, you feel that you're either in a film setting or you're teleported back to ad 1398
follow the horse signs and that lead you to another event site...

despite you didn't enter into the main site where the festival took place, you have a good glimpse and truly feel the atmosphere especially when the troop made an entrance to the communale. also they 're enough people dressed up in medieval costume walking around the whole city.
it's definitely festive and merry where tourists and locals mingle around.
personally volterra looks more real than san gimignano. this place has enough inhabitants and also the festival makes the city a bit real and lively.  not watching the 'twilight' yourself, ti's hard to tell or compare the scene in the movie against the actual setting.
