Volterra, born with the VII ème century before J.C, in full heart of the Bronze Age, dominates the valley of Cecina, which extends to the sea.
Ground of contrast on at the same time argillaceous and ochre ground, Volterra is famous for testimonys of Etruscan civilization and the medieval period which it preserves, but also for its typical products of the local arts and crafts (wine, oil, alabaster…).
Volterra which will know all the times, remains nevertheless and par excellence, the city where the Etrusque world will have reached its apogee.
