Time is passing quickly

Ciao,

Monday was a holiday here in Italy, it was the day that the king a abdicated from the throne.  It was one of these two King Victor Emmanuel III
King Emmanuel III
abdicated in 1946 to giving it to his son Umberto II,
King Umberto II
then he lost it in the same year by a referendum abolishing the monarchy ( a little Italian history for you)

Volterra is a walled town in Tuscany with medieval and Renaissance buildings, a Roman theater, and Etruscan sites.  For all you Twightlight fans this the home of the Volturi in the second book and the action scene





It was a cute little town. Off Elba Island today and Rio Marina.  I think it's where Napolean  was held captive?????

Ciao
