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)
