Iris here-
Here we are in Montepulciano, a quiet, peaceful, wonderful place. (Not as busy as Rome!)We are staying in an apartment on a mountain that over looks the whole city!
Beautiful!
It turns out that the Twilight Saga, New Moon was filmed here, so a lot of things (including postcards, tshirts, and even menus!) say New Moon and Twilight on them!
And, we also heard that while they were filming here (about 2 years ago), the directors, producers, hair and makeup people stayed in the apartment we're staying in! (The security wasn't tight enough to host the cast!) and today we went to see where they filmed some of it!
They filmed part of it in a town square thing, and if any of you have seen it, it's the fountain scene.(I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't describe it any more than that!)Apparently, since there isn't actually a fountain here, they had to build one just for the set which they took off after, so when all the tourists came to look at the fountain that was in the movie, and they asked, "Where's the fountain?" , the Italians replied, "What fountain?"!
We are just hanging out today, but we will go on some day trips later on this week. We'll keep you posted.
Ciao fo now!
the italians could have fun with the tourists.
