Itinerary
Dalla terrazza panoramica, si apre la vista sulla Val di Cecina, un territorio ricco di risorse naturali e paesaggi scolpiti dal vento e dall’energia geotermica.
Lungo le vie del centro, l’alabastro si rivela come simbolo identitario della città, lavorato da secoli con maestria e oggi esposto in botteghe e musei.
Porta all’Arco segna l’ingresso nell’antica Velathri, una potente città etrusca dove miti, culti e arte funeraria raccontano una civiltà raffinata e misteriosa.
Piazza dei Priori rappresenta il centro politico e civile di Volterra, dominata da palazzi storici e teatro di eventi che evocano la gloria comunale e rinascimentale.
Tra vicoli e architetture in pietra, la Volterra medievale conserva l’impronta di un’epoca in cui torri, misure locali e autonomie cittadine segnavano il ritmo della vita quotidiana.
La Fortezza medicea domina l’altura con la sua imponenza rinascimentale e custodisce al suo interno una realtà sorprendente fatta di teatro, reinserimento e speranza.
Nel sito del teatro romano, emerge il volto imperiale della città, dove spettacoli, terme e resti archeologici parlano dell’influenza di Roma sull’antica Volterra.
Nella cappella affrescata accanto a Porta San Francesco, si svela un ciclo pittorico che intreccia fede, arte e leggenda in un racconto senza tempo.

About Florence
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.
The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.
Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
