Welcome to the territory of the Comunità Montana
Val di Cecina.
One doesn't ever finish to discover the city and it's
surrounding area, there is always something new and particularly
suggestive in this territory. Maybe it would be better
to say dense and meaningful. Here, runs solidly history
without solution of continuity from one epoch to another;
one can sense it in the material life walking down the
street as it appears in literary memories and artistic
manifestations. It is told with abundance in the different
museums.
With its relative inaccessibility Volterra has preserved
her beauty and her mysteriousness. The impressive etruscan
walls have lead to the maintaining of the medieval plan
of the city, steep streets and narrow stone houses. The
city has been dominated for centuries her surroundings,
from her impressive window of the Viale dei Ponti, the
eye sweeping from north to east first perceives a slice
of the Tirreno sea, then all around a crown of small towns
radicated on the hills and finally toward the south rivers
of the boraciferous area which seem pointing white towards
the sky, after the metallic serpents piped them to the
geothermoelectric plants and refrigerant towers.
From every part, after the hallucination of the white
land of Poggi Morti, shows an extraordinary vegetation,
an immense green lung to the sea between the fading hills.
It's easy to imagine what is the wealth of the flora and
the fauna. A territory structured like this cannot but
have an enogastronomy that of high quality, a cuisine
that is defined as 'poor' as a way of saying, is in reality
food delicacies, mushrooms, truffles, game, sheep's milk
cheese and prestigious DOC wines. This web site has the
objective of getting us closer to discovering the suggestive
aspects of this territory.
