Description

Volterra, città “magica e misteriosa”, affonda le sue radici in tremila anni di storia. Di ogni periodo è possibile trovare tracce e testimonanianze che hanno contribuito a renderla unica nel panorama delle città d’arte. Del periodo etrusco rimangono la cinta muraria, l’imponente Porta all’Arco, la necropoli dei Marmini e i numerosi reperti archeologici conservati nel Museo Etrusco Guarnacci, dall’Ombra della Sera, con il suo profilo unico, alle urne cinerarie, ai gioielli finemente lavorati. Il Teatro di Vallebona, di età augustea è testimone dell’importanza che Volterra ebbe in età romana. Volterra, a city "magical and mysterious," has its roots in three thousand years of history. Each period you can find traces and testimonanianze that helped make it unique in the city of art. Of the Etruscan period remain the walls, the imposing Porta Arch, the necropolis of Marmini and the numerous archaeological finds preserved in the Museo Etrusco Guarnacci from the shadows of the evening, with its unique profile, the urns, the finely crafted jewelry . The Theater of Vallebona, the Augustan Age demonstrates the importance that Volterra had in Roman times.

Cartoline dall'Italia :-) Non ho ancora avuto occasione di dirtelo ma io adoro la Toscana, è stata meta di gite meravigliose quando i bambini non c'erano ancora. E spero di tornarci presto.

I have never been to Tuscany but it is on my list of the most beautiful places to visit. The rolling hills of green and gold are stunningly beautiful. Wonderful shot, and thanks for the great history.

Splendida fotografia! Non è solo bella ma anche affascinante. Trovo interessante il fatto che siamo in grado di vedere cosa c'è sotto, con le ombre e le piante modo crescono. Bella immagine! Wonderful photography! It is not only beautiful but also fascinating. I find it interesting that we can see what lies below, by the shadows and the way plants grow. Beautiful image!
