The story

A stop at Volterra, a city of ancient Etruscan origins, of which it preserves two magnificent gates, where we can see Roman remains and medieval buildings such as the Palazzo dei Priori and the Cathedral. The area is also famous for the extraction and working of alabaster. Strolling along the streets of the centre, the ceramic shops are countless, beautiful in the variety of colours...... only the prices are a bit too high!
