The old Medici fortress of Volterra, Fortezza Medicea, is now a prison for criminals. Those who were sentenced to at least 7 years, so quite "heavy boys". So it may be surprising at first that there are held in the winter months on 6 to 8 appointments for guests ceremonial dinners. These meals are conducted by the inmates under the direction of renowned external chefs and great internal chefs.

Beyond the beauty and history of the place, it offers the possibility of doing healthy outdoor sports. In fact, there is a free equipped area with around ten exercise machines of various kinds which also allow you to play sports in company.
