Volterra is so small that its old city needs 30 minutes to walk from end to end. It was exactly our kind of town. Volterra is the centre of alabaster artisanal work. It was lovely to see the beautiful alabaster carvings. There is also a rather disturbing Museum of Torture, featuring torture instruments of times gone past. I missed that museum but in case readers are interested, there are some photos below taken by my family, who reacted in distaste too.
We stayed in a clean an cosy apartment in Volterra here. It was such a comfort after Horrible Florence.
