17/ ∞ No place like home - Volterra: The town that The Volturi call home was founded by them in 978 BC, then known as ‘Velathri’. Becoming their base of operations and the centre of vampiric culture. It is also heralded as the safest place to live in the world, much of it is attributed to the strict laws around hunting as well as the fact that The Volturi owns all of the town and the surrounding areas to this day.
16/ ∞ No place like home - Aro’s Vault: Deep beneath Volterra within the caverns you will find a door under lock and key. The only one in the palazzo who has access to the grand vault is Aro; who has collected memorabilia for millennia. Some of the artefacts hidden there are of immense value, while others hold sentimental significance. It is said that the last Didyme’s belongings are stored there for eternity.
14/ ∞ No place like home - The Entrance Hall: When one enters Volterra you are keenly aware of what awaits. There are two statues facing opposite one another with a staircase parting them ominously. This is not the entrance humans get to see, but the ones vampires will have to pass when they have been called upon or brought in. The two statues are Justitia: personification of the moral force in judicial systems, and Prudentia: personification of the ability to govern and discipline by the use of reason. An eternal reminder of what is at stake to vampires who face The Volturi's law.
11/ ∞ No place like home - The Guard's Recreation Room: Serving The Volturi is a difficult and often thankless job, none of the guard complain however for they have found purpose in their immortality. However, Aro thought it important that they have a place in the palace where they could simply relax without the need for decorum.
15/ ∞ No place like home - Marcus' Quarters: The eldest king occupies the 6th floor of the western wing with his private quarters. His rooms include his private salons and personal artefacts he would rather not anyone else behold. On a good day you will be able to hear beautiful piano music come from his quarters, nobody else is allowed in the room while he plays though.
10/ ∞ No place like home - The Throne Room: A place where the great issues concerning vampire kind is discussed. The room is large, with domed ceilings that produces an uncomfortable echo when punishments are given out. It is unbearably quiet; except the rustling of fabrics when the three kings grasp each others hands to deliberate. The grandeur of the room create an unsettling atmosphere for those who face their crimes.
13/ ∞ No place like home - Caius' Quarters: The middle king occupies the 5th floor of the eastern wing with his private quarters. His rooms include both his private office and lounge filled with all his favourite pleasures and pastimes. Caius keeps his quarters tidy and impeccable all by himself, no one touches his belongings but him.
8/ ∞ No place like home - The Ground Floor: To keep up appearances in Volterra and for tourists, the ground floor is free from vampiric activity. Regular humans believe they have walked into any other historic European building, with a friendly receptionist and everything. No one is better at hiding in plain sight than The Volturi.
