    The hill on which Volterra stands was already inhabited during the early Iron Age.
    Veláthri (the Etruscan name of Volterra), was part of the Etruscan confederation, called Etruscan dodecapoli or lucumonie, starting from the second half of the 6th century BC.
    In Latin the city took the name of Volaterrae, from which derive the Greek Οὐολατέρραι Ouolatérrai and the current Italian name.
    Partial independence was maintained even when Velathri was forced, the last of ....................................................................................................................................................

      Oh dear Angela, nice seeing you again! This was a little... experiment ... As I'm in trying, as possible as I can, to organise some tour in the occasion of holidays and special festivals. It was a suggestion and I think a good one! From time to time I'll show something similar. Volterra was truly nice, agreed. Quite a long walk this...but the city truly is that large and still missed a lot. Nice memories.

      Querida Mari, siempre es lindo intercambiar palabras aquí y verte de regreso)
      Me gustó la ciudad, para mi gusto, como comprenderán, es demasiado "llena", y no era tan fácil navegar entre la gente con una cámara, pero el lugar es ciertamente agradable. Pero... tanto calor y sudor... no fue fácil, debo decir. En el verano es bastante difícil con la cámara y todo, pero siempre se disfruta con la gente, debo decir.
      De hecho... bonita ciudad Volterra. También me gustó mucho el programa.
      Te deseo una linda semana Mari y ciao

    Большая прогулка!
    Всё очень зрелищно и интересно!
    Красивый город с интересной старинной архитектурой зданий, арок, церквей, дворцов, крепостью, улиц и площадей!
    Как большие, так и малые церкви восхищают своей архитектурой, убранством, а также разнообразием фресок и картин!
    Костюмированные сцены из средневековой жизни в городе очень интересны!
    Отдельная благодарность за субтитры с историей о Volterra!
    Отличное средневековое шоу!
    Я видел что-то похожее с флагами на ежегодном фестивале "Спасская башня" на Красной площади в Москве и да они тоже были из Италии.
    Grazie mille Riccardo!

      Дорогой Пафнутий, здесь всегда приятно перекинуться словами. Спасибо и рад, что вам понравилась Вольтерра. Интересно о шоу в Москве - люблю эти шоу, должен сказать. Хотел бы я почаще посещать Россию...
      Город мне понравился, на мой вкус, как вы понимаете, слишком "людный", и ориентироваться среди людей с фотоаппаратом было не так-то просто, но место, безусловно, приятное.

    GREAT tour, Riccardo. It's good to be kids again, periodically. Go back to the Middle Ages, having modern comforts.
    Die laughing in the stocks, instead of losing your head with the executioner's axe.
    I seemed to see Dante Alighieri, at the celebration, talking on his mobile phone, perhaps with Hell, Purgatory or Paradise from his Divine Comedy, or with beloved Beatriz.
    Everything very clean and stony in Volterra. Beautiful gateways to the city, beatiful buildings and charming corners. Beautiful Tuscan landscapes.
    Convratulations to the builders of the sewage systems, for not destroying the ancient stones of the streets in these beatiful cities.
    Plague is reported to have struck Volterra in 1.630 and 1.656. And Tuscany already has around 10.000 deaths , with Covid- 19, today.
    Grazie molto, for the video.

A hot and sweaty day, and not easy to film with all the people (camera was bouncing a litle too much I guess... I need to improve in these environments).
