Le Balze di Volterra (sunset in the mist)
The area around Volterra presents a particular landscape formed by highs ravines which century ago swallowed the ancient etruscan necropoli. This fenomen it's caused by a large layer of sand in the superior part, more resistent of water erosion than underlying clay, wich are easly removed by atmospherics agents; this erosion provokes lack of support to the layer of hard sand and confers this typicall formations called Balze.
