Volterra in 1398Volterra AD 1398
Two consecutive Sundays in August Volterra rewinds itself to 1398 — the year before its annexation by Florence. Hundreds of citizens in period costume run a working medieval marketplace using a struck silver currency the grosso. Falconers swordsmiths scribes bakers using wood-fired ovens. The town becomes a living museum for two days.
