1) The Roman Amphitheater: The Roman theater was brought to light in the 1950s by Enrico Fiumi, a historian from Volterra. It was built in the Imperial period and commissioned by the rich Caecina family. Due to its dimensions, 60 meters in diameter, and 24 steps, historians think the theater had space for around 3500 guests. It was equipped with a velarium, a big piece of fabric held up by ropes covering the whole area to protect guests and artists. At the end of the 3rd century b.C., the theater was abandoned, and thermal baths were built instead.

2) Deposition by Rosso Fiorentino: The Deposition from the Cross is an altarpiece, completed in 1521, depicting the Deposition of Christ by the Italian Renaissance painter Rosso Fiorentino. The painting is dated and signed: RUBEUS FLOR. A.S. MDXXI. It is broadly considered to be the artist’s masterpiece. Painted in oil on wood, the painting was previously located in the Duomo of Volterra but has been moved to the town art gallery, Pinacoteca Comunale.
