EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transport us back in time to the enchanting town of Volterra, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. The image showcases the magnificent Medici Fortress, an ancient citadel that has stood the test of time since the 13th century. The castle, known to the ancient Etruscans as Velathri and to the Romans as Volaterrae, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this remarkable region. At the center of the photograph, the imposing Cassero, an ancient section of the castle, dominates the scene with its towering walls and turrets. The intricate details of the fortifications, from the battlements to the crenellations, speak of a bygone era when knights and nobles defended their lands against invaders. In the foreground, the Porta a Selci, or the Selci Gate, is a beautifully preserved example of medieval architecture. The gate, adorned with intricate stonework, once served as the main entrance to the castle. The name Selci is believed to derive from the Etruscan word for "stones," a fitting moniker given the gate's impressive use of the local volcanic stone. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of medieval life within the castle walls. The Medici Fortress at Volterra remains an enduring symbol of Italy's rich history and a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to explore the wonders of Tuscany.
