    Hi Sam, what a place!! Thanks very much for taking us along.
    You were very brave to enter that crypt (no sign of Giovanni anywhere😅😅), well done for keeping your head when your torch failed.
    Were there signs of channels to bring water in to the cistern? From what we learnt at Italica the Romans wanted clean fresh water and built really long channels to bring it down to the city, even though that was near a large river.
    Hope you had a nice break in Italy!!

      Hey David!
      I am so glad you liked it! Thank you!
      And yes, I'm learning to be brave and going in spooky dark places on my own 😂
      I don't know if it shows in the video, I'm sure I have a photo that shows some pipe-like openings, I think to take the water down to Volterra.
      What an amazing place.

    There are so many beautiful places in Italy. But this village... Etruscan, Roman, Medieval all in one place... a dream.
    That spiral staircase scares me though.

    Pleased you mentioned D.H.Lawrence. Anyone interested in the Etruscans should read his book 'Sketches of Etruscan Places' and, even better, follow the journeys related in the book. I know Volterra well but it's always full of tourists these days. You found the places that most visitors know nothing about. Great video!

    Another great video. THose movement sensitive lights are a pain. I used to attend a local slimming club with movement sensor lights in the loos. Always went first before weigh in. Had to take a torch or stand up and wave to put the damned lights back on. Forgive if too much info. Thankyou for posting. looks like an interesting place.
