MONTEPULCIANO UPDATE: NEW PICTURES, ‘NEW MOON’ PRESS RELEASE
It’s time for another Montepulciano update, and this one includes some great new pictures of the clock tower at midday, a newly installed gutter, another great picture of the reported Volturi thrones, a picture of a statue, presumed to be some sort of saint taken, today in the city hall, and a New Moon press release.

And as promised, courtesy of La Gazetta di Forks, we have an official (translated) press release from the Italian distributor of New Moon, Eagle Pictures:

(Thanks the RaVen)
I love the new pictures and I think the clock tower looks amazing. I’ll admit though, that statue scares the life out of me. On a happier note, it’s very exciting to see the press release for the Italian portion of New Moon, because now we know who to expect on site. I wish I were in Montepulciano right now - I’d love to attend the Twilight gathering!
What do you think of these new pictures and the press release? Are any of you near Italy or do any of you plan to commute to Montepulciano for the Twilight gathering?

is it just me or is Michael Sheen’s name not on that list?
SO excited!!! I just told my mom we are flying to Italy tomorrow and we are going to live outside the set
Remember, ….Jane, Demetri, and Felix are the only members of the Volturi that will need to be filmed “outside” in Italy… the rest filmed the interior of the castle in Vancouver. What I don’t understand … why do they have the throne if they’re not filming the ancients? That’s MY question. Filming is weird…. I don’t want to know anymore! It’s taking away the MOVIE MAGIC for me!!!
Ugh, I’m lying… I want to see it now!
The more and more I see of Montepulciano the more excited I am getting, I already said all this excitement giving me” whiplash”, but now I just need to peee…OMG I am looking forward to New Moon, no question about that ,BUT this part at Volterra and The Volturi I am busting to see, it is going to fantastic. The Town just looks amazing. I am not surprised that there are no vacancies within a 20km radius.
