We went to Volterra thanks to the wise advice of our lovely hostess at Torraccia di Chiusi near San Gemignano. It's a magnificent old town, with breathtaking views, and this museum is one of its highlights: a splendid, impressive collection of artifacts from the Etruscan period - the best and largest of its kind in Italy. Go there!
