Photographer’s Note

From Wikipedia.it:

La Porta dell'Arco (or all'Arco) of Volterra, which dates back to around the III-II century BC, is part of the city walls, originally built by the Etruscans and then changed later in the Middle Ages when the city erse a free town.

The Gate was affected, compared to similar buildings in other cities, in a minor rearrangements of the Romans after the submission of the city in Rome and in fact it is still today the great stateliness typical of Etruscan city gates.
