Although the original novel, Volterra is mentioned as the place where part of the action takes place in the second part of the Twilight: New Moon, Volterra is present in a marginal way in the film.The filming of New Moon in Montepulciano lasted two weeks, and hopefully, both Volterra and Montepulciano join a wave of tourists (at least in these years) thanks to the success of the film.
Montepulciano is in the province of Siena, and is noted for its landscape of hills in the style of Tuscany, crowned at the top of the Duomo Santa Maria Assunta catedal, or the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio, just outside of the city.
The charm of Montepulciano, thanks to its position on top of a hill, is visible from many angles, thanks to the panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside. Wine production area, there are many wineries that can be visited, as well as a recommended food.
When visiting the now famous Via del Corso, a street that zigzags between the medieval facades, no doubt, we fully immersed in the magic of New Moon, a film that could catch in its history to millions of viewers around the world.
