Volterra, Tuscany, Italy

travel videos & photos at: townsofeurope.com/ with text, maps & links.
Volterra, in Tuscany, Italy is one of the most attractive of all the Tuscan walled towns. It's amazingly preserved. The town is about a thousand years old and the buildings we see today easily date back to the Middle Ages and the earliest foundations of Volterra go back to the Etruscan days, nearly 3000 years ago. This movie features local Tuscan guide, Annie Adair, who will take us on an extended walking tour through Volterra. Annie explains about the history, architecture, culture and daily life in the city today. She conducts regular tours in Volterra and Tuscany, and can be found at her website, www.tuscantour.com for more information.

This is a newly-revised version of an earlier video on Volterra.

    La Toscana è tutta così.. uno scrigno pieno di tesori come siena Volterra San Gimignano Montalcino pienza massa marittima e mille altri… una vita per visitarlo piename non basterebbe… e comunque tutta l’Italia è un tesoro incomparabile… ma spesso italiani che hanno visitatao solo l’Inter Land del proprio borgo vanno solo in vacanza all’estero possibilmente in posti che stanno a molte ore di aereo per vantarsi su Instagram coii selfie

    Thank you for your knowledgeable video tour. Volterra has been on our list of places to go for six years. When we can be free to travel again, a Volterra stay will be a must. I read somewhere that the residents have a lot of Etruscan DNA, which is not surprising. My heart cries for Mother Italy and the Covid 19 struggle. CIAO

    Volterra is a place I have wanted to visit for a long long time, do you think it's possible to visit Volterra and Sienna in 1 day?

  • @denniscallan

    Yes, if you have a car. Driving is quite easy here, with good roads and distance of 35 miles, will take about 90 minutes to drive. However public transport, not good, so drive. Volterra in the morning then full afternoon and evening in Siena, with dinner at twilight on the Campo, superb. You must enter the Duomo and spend one hour there, and walk the many lanes. Other towns nearby beckon, San Gimignano, Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano, you can drive there too. Tuscany deserves a week or two.

    @@curleydogwg Because Russell asked if "it's possible," so it would be wrong to say no, not possible. Of course I get your point, why be in such a rush? It would obviously be much better to slow down and spend a day or two in each place. But it is possible. We should have empathy for some people who just do not have much vacation time and want to pack in as much as possible. Many times in the past I visited Sienna as a day-trip from Florence with my groups, and once we also included San Gimignano. That was a real stretch but made for a memorable day.

    Well, ok, I take that as a compliment, but I think I do a better job than Rick. He is a master, no doubt about that, 1 million books sold every year, and video that sets an example, but he hogs the picture too much: all Rick, all the time, "look at me."

    Thanks again -- I have to agree. Rick is the king of travel videos, especially considering how few other TV shows take us anywhere, such as the boring stuff on the Travel Channel..and then there's Tony Bourdain, what fun, but mostly food -- Maybe some of the Globe Trecker hosts, also good. I keep plugging away making more while trying to entertain and educate.

    As you know, I have so many movies about that area I can't list them here, but it looks like you are finding them, and here's one about San Gimignano (which is a lovely, but tiny little village). Rent a car so you can easily reach a lot of other places, driving on very good roads with help from talking GPS. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6eNtaaClNLchto.html

    Volterra is almost 3000 years old, not 1000 years old.
