Weitz Reveals Why Montepluciano Was Chosen Over Volterra

Twilight Italia was lucky enough to be the only Twilight Blog in attendance at a press conference with Chris Weitz in the last couple of days and have posted about it on their site. During the press conference Chris was asked about choosing Montepulciano for the Italy scenes, here is what Twilight Italia have to say about it (translated by google, not necessarily 100% accurate)-

"I add here that, following a question about why the choice is its fallout on the city that is hosting the filming, Chris Weitz said that he opted for a need for symmetry and photography. It also took the occasion to say that both cities are beautiful.

He added that if there is someone to "blame" for this decision then that's him because he was a very strong wish of the square instead of Montepulciano to Volterra. And I tell you my impression when he spoke you could see clearly that he has done a very professional choice based on that of which in his view, the film needed to make up. I have never concealed that among people who appreciate this director, so I am sure that has worked and is working to make a New Moon really the best."
