Volterra, Italy
From Twilight Saga Wiki
Volterra, Italy is the ancient Italian city where the Volturi reside. It is very beautiful and is known as the safest place in the world from vampire attack. The Volturi do not permit any sort of hunting there as they do not like anything that could expose them.
Volterra is near the famous little town of San Gimignano in the region Toscana. Volterra is known for its numerous old buildings and a city wall that goes all around the city.
In the Twilight series, the city celebrates Saint Marcus Day, who is in fact Marcus of the Volturi, as the day when St. Marcus supposedly drove all vampires away from the city. In actuality, there is no St. Marcus, but there is a St. Mark after whom cities in Italy celebrate the Feast of St. Mark.[1][2]
For the film New Moon, the Volterra scenes were actually filmed in Montepulciano, Italy.
