Rossi Alabastri Volterra

Reviewed By juliewD1435BS - Boise, United States

The shop is tucked away.....this is not something you will just run into on the Main Street. Tucked away in a corner. I was glad our guide knew enough to take us here. Mr. Rossi's greetings were warm and inviting from the beginning. He was quick to point out that this is the real stuff!! There are inexpensive copies out there, but this is the real deal!! He took us into the workshop, where one of the craftsman showed us on the lathe, how to work the alabaster into something special. I wonder if these guys develop lung problems?? No mask, no protective eye wear? Really a special place to visit, and learn about this wonderful ancient handicraft. You will feel like you have known this family for years. And owning something made by their family is definitely a treasure to have in your home! I was visiting with a friend, but this tour would be enjoyed by families with children as well. I can see groups of teenagers loving this too. Really a cool place.

Piazza dei Priori

Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain

Piazza dei Priori is the main square located in the old town of Volterra, in Tuscany Region, in Italy. It is a wonderful square, where you can see very nice buildings like Palazzo dei Priori (nowadays the town hall) or Palazzo Pretorio. Also, we came here, when Volterra 1398AD fair was done (in the middle of August-2019), and in this place there were a lot of medieval dances with typical clothes of this period. Really, charming! for children and adults! (See also Palazzo dei Priori)

Palazzo dei Priori

Reviewed By tneldner - Adelaide, Australia

Waiting to climb to the tower took a while and it wasn't until we were at the front of the queue that we noticed the sign explaining that only 5 people could go up at a time (and must come down) As we climbed the stairs we realised why - the stairs are very narrow and the top is essentially half a tower. The views are great and worth the wait and climb, the Town Hall is beautiful and still operating, loved seeing all the shield of the families who were part of the wall city.

Baptistery

Reviewed By BnCrXplorerz - Pittsburgh, United States

The 14th century Baptistry of St. John is part of the Duomo complex in a separate building and, though small in comparison to the cathedral, it contains awe inspiring art detailing the life of John the Baptist much of which dates from the 15th century. Magnificent art covers every inch of the walls and sculptures adorn the nooks, all accomplished by the most famous artists of the day, Donatelli, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Jacopo della Quercia and others. A worthy place to sit, marvel and meditate.
