As a homeowner in Volterra for only a few years (vacation home), I absolutely wanna thank you for making these videos. I have learned so much….. if we are ever both in town at the same time, my wife and I would love to meet you and your wife. Cheers!

I once saw the Italian and European champions of flag throwing perform in Lanuvio (Castelli Romani) and they were sensational! Somersaults, the highest throws I've ever seen and lots of tight pants! LOL...since then I've always loved flag throwing! Was interesting to see the centre of Pistoia as people have told me how quiet it is. So odd for a Tuscan city to be so quiet! Thanks for the trip around! 🥰😍🤗😘

Marie's laugh is so infectious. Again, many thanks for popping in to see us and for my pre-big-birthday lunch 🥰 I lived in Siena in the '80s and since then drums and flag-waving make me tear up.

Always Saturday. Off-season (about Oct to March) it’s in Piazza dei Priori, the main square. During season (April-Sep) it’s in the Vallebona carpark beside the Roman Theatre ruins.

What is the whining about the entry fee! It’s a VERY historical building that need funds to preserve it for future generations. For the same price you can have a fish and chips and a beer that will be down the drain in 24 hours 😂. Get a grip.
@realeoinarmstrong
@realeoinarmstrong 9 месяцев назад
I didn’t have a problem paying *a* fee, but found it very high, that’s all, and have heard others similarly complain about NT attractions. Also, thanks for the ‘VERY’, as I had assumed it was ‘NORMALLY’ historical and now feel silly.

So glad that you and Niahm enjoyed it so much...thank you so much for sharing your lovely experiences there. PS At 1.46 you walked past the hotel we stayed in...fabulous location and very sweet hotel with amazing views from the breakfast room. Loved Lago di Trasimeno as well and the shorelines ...such a pretty area which we almost moved to! 🥰😍😘💖
