Experience the hidden story of Volterra through puzzles and discovery.

A message from Larth Velcha

My name is Larth Velcha. I was born in Velathri, the ancient name of what you now call Volterra. I am a guardian of stories, symbols, and knowledge that most people have long forgotten.

 

I am writing to you from behind stone walls. The people of this city believe I have done something wrong. They say I took something that did not belong to me. But I did not steal.

 

Long ago, the Etruscans marked certain places with signs, the ancient people who lived here long before the Romans, signs meant to guide, not to hide. I followed those signs, just as others before me were allowed to do.

Now I need your help.

 

You can walk freely through the streets of Volterra, where I cannot. If you follow the same signs and discover what I discovered, you will understand the truth.

 

Will you help me show that the city can still be read?
