New Moon is the second novel of the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer, a brooding and mysterious tale that tells of the strong love between the handsome vampire, Edward Cullen and his human girlfriend, Bella Swan. A new moon is the darkest phase of the lunar cycle, making it the perfect title for Meyer's descriptive prose about the darkest and lowest period in Edward and Bella's lives.
From a high, dark, rocky hill, Volterra dominates the green valleys of the rivers Era and Cecina that flow through a land full of art and natural beauty. The Etruscans founded the city more than 2800 years ago among the “Metal Hills”, rich in iron, copper and pyrite, exactly on those desolate rocky heights that became known as the “Devil’s Valley” for all the puffing smoke and unnerving smell of sulfur. Today, no matter what ominous names it may have enjoyed in the past, Volterra is an ideal getaway for anyone seeking peace and tranquility.
