Lore on the 'set' of Donna Velata - Volterra

Perhaps the first time that I have been to Volterra I had 10/12 years, approximately 30 years ago... in that period the italian television showed a serial, mysterious, taken in Volterra... I was so interested that I asked to my parents to make a trip in this medieval village..... The discovery of this place and its earth has been fantastic, I saw places seen at the IV, I spoke with some old people that had seen the television set.....the memory of this trip are remained in my mind, therefore in this last week end passed to the sea in Tuscany has decided to return to Bologna for a longer but sure interesting road , returning to Volterra to the sunset. It's still much beautiful, but my memory is faded cause the ipertourist vision of this village, a lot of souvenir store, trash objects,....."the coach tourism tuscany all inclusive in 3 days" has been taken this place that still succeeds in living the old atmosphere in old the lateral alleys where the old women makes the mesh on the door or gives to eat to the road cats....so I put only a pic of Lorenzo in the Old set of 'Donna Velata' serial and a little travelogue of these ' big' felines of Volterra... if u can comes here off-season when the travellers discover the ' smell't of Tuscany.
