New Moon takes a globe-trotting stop in Volterra, Italy in order to visit the Volturi vampire coven that lives there. But the question remains: where will the movie actually film the Italian segments? New Moon casting information we’ve gathered so far indicates that the filming locations are LA, Vancouver and Rome.

But why Rome? Fellow Twihard Sarah Braasch relates her travels to Volterra with this (imagined?) press release from a “Volturi spokeswoman” and tickles the eyes with a gallery of Volterra locations:

Volturi spokeswoman Heidi explained, “Why go anywhere else? Why recreate Volterra when you can have Volterra? When we heard that Summit was considering shooting in Rome in lieu of Volterra, we knew that we had to do something. We wanted to show them just how beautiful, cool, photogenic, and atmospheric Volterra is. There is no replacement. And, we know that the Twilight fandom will agree.”
