New Moon Volturi Thrones Montepulciano Italy Fountain

The fountain being erected in the main square of Montepulciano, Italy for New Moon is coming along at a rapid clip. Recent pictures indicate that it looks nearly complete. In addition the pictured thrones may be props to be used by the Volturi in the movie.

Check out the rest of the post at TwilightItalia, and also some videos they have as well as a picture of Robert Pattinson’s body double.

[thanks, Shire!]

    Wow, Bella is really going to look cute in that fountain when I trip her and make a run for shirtless Edward. LOL
  • cutesweetiezzz
    *Sigh* A shirtless Rob
  • ally
    Is it just me, or did anyone else picture the fountain WAY bigger than that? I had the impression that the fountain took up a lot more square-footage.
  • Majnona (H.N)
    I did!.. why would she go through it if it was that small anyway it doesn't make sense..
  • Venus_Mist
    Yes i did! I pictured it as quite a large thing - that helped her navigate alot of the square so she could by-pass the crowd. That doesnt quite live up to my expectations. I was imagining a more baroque centrepiece too rather than a boring gothic spire.
  • ClareB
    I'm sure it'll look bigger when she's running across it and the whole square is packed out.
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    yep, I hope she doesn't get "too" hurt....
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    That is not up to me...it is gonna be 4thewolf beating her with the marble fish. Take that up with her. LOL
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    Check out the vid on the link to the other pics. All Italian - La Porsche........... fantastico - You don't have to speak Italian to hear the enthusiasm. Oh Rob driving, me sitting by his side in the Italian countrside - best $20K I ever spent - it's charity after all.
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    He cracked me up in that video. Did you see his face when they started the bidding at $10,000 -he was so embarassed. Like it WOULDN'T go for more than that.....so humble, that is why I lust after him so - well, one of many reasons. LOL
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    I know, he said the start the bidding at 5 buck! That's why we love our boy!
  • burtonbabe148

  • bookobsessed
    "Spunk"...LMAO....mine would commit me for that one....
  • KellansONLYGirl
    My bf wanted to commit me when he saw the gazillion Kellan pics on my phone! Or when I stayed up all night on here or reading.
    It's been threatened, but I'd like to see him try to keep me away! lol
  • i_like_em_sparkly (Sparkly)
    LOL...My husband has threatened to log on as me and post some crazy sh*t on here to get me kicked off. I told him I would surely divorce him if he dared go through with it!
  • KellansONLYGirl
    LMAO! Yeah Dave wanted to get on here the other day! He said that he was gunna hunt everyone down! I dont even think he would know what to do!

    You should have your divorce attorney on call! lol. I would!!! Or at least get the papers ready! haha
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    Don't worry, Kellan will fight for you! And Dave will wonder how a studly vamp took his best girl........ and you will sigh into Kellan's massive chest shielding your eyes and slowly whisper to yourself "Dave who................."
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Were you at my house last night OE?!?! haha
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone about my covert superpowers! I run REALLY fast to keep up with the vamp crew! Kellan's got me watching you! He <3 you!

    **blurry line designating reality just completely disappeared for good**
  • KellansONLYGirl

  • ahhhh looks kool
  • 4thewolf
    Beautiful!! But, what's with the tiny lions? Where is the grand scale so that mermaids would fit in? My entire hope of sneaking on set depends on this!! *looks sorrowfully at mermaid costume and fountain-colored body paint*
    ARGGGHHHHH!!!!
    Hmmm... I will have to sneak in at night and expand the fountain perimeters. I'm sure Sergio will never notice a change from the blueprints.
    *loads wood, saw, and faux brick into car*
  • bookobsessed
    Another secret mission?...*big smile*....need any coven girls? I'm willing as soon as I finish the ET beatings with Effing and company....LOL
  • 4thewolf
    Oooh, bookobsessed! Yes, I am always willing to enlist others on my secret missions....



    As you may have previously read, I have intended to body-paint myself fountain-colored, and pose as a fish-holding mermaid upon said fountain for a variety of reasons, not the least of which involves dragging Bella underwater and holding her there until she admits that she was a thoughtless jerk for making Jake cry.. but that is another story. Back to my point.



    Unfortunately, this fountain is not totally conducive-looking to life-sized mermaids at this somewhat small scale. I will need to rebuild the fountain without attracting the attention of passersby and also convince the set people that mermaids were suddenly called for.



    Perhaps you can create a diversion of sorts while I dismantle and rebuild the fountain in question.

    LOL
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    um, you best not give my job away!! LOL. If you do, I will not be throwing you the "Cam-bone" that was negotiated earlier....

    lol
  • 4thewolf
    Ooh, I shall tell no one.

    (although I'm slightly confused about of which one we speak.. are we talking about "I am your life NOW??? after twitching the fish to the left?)

    And I was kidding about the um*cough* Cam -bone. I have no idea, reallly what you mean

    *looks around for Howl*
    Not even a temptation.

    LOL
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Well, perhaps you should re-read our other discussion regarding this issue. but here is the rundown of my duties....

    i am gonna hide in the fountain with you, you will signal me with the marble fish - that is the sign for the attack - as soon as you take her down, I take over for her running to Edward. I will the plant on him the two slivers of heaven that are my lips and the rest will be history.... With Bella out of the picture, that clears up Jake - We all live happily-ever-after.

    That is one heck of a plan you have come up with 4thewolf. I am proud. LOL
  • 4thewolf
    Ok. We are on the same page. But first, let me get this out of my system once again.



    *burst into uncontrollable laughter*

    HahahhHhahahahahahlhalha " the two slivers of heaven that are my lips?""" ahhahahahhahahhahhah



    Ok.. I am relatively calm again. Yes, we have so many little plans, I start forgetting which one you are alluding to. (ooh, looky that, EFfing_ alluding... You likey my vocabulary)


    Unfortunately, I fear Jake prefers brunettes, which I am not, and Howl is threatening to seduce him by tossing her raven tresses. In that event, I will be unhappy while Rob is helping himself to the two slivers of heaven, and Jake is running his fingers through her raven hair, and I am just stuck with my faux marble fish and a mermaid costume.



    Gosh. And after all the work I put into this, too.



    LOL
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    yes, I threw the "slivers" comment in there just for you. LOL

    He prefers brunettes, huh? Geeze, 4thewolf, snap out of it!! **shaking you by the shoulders** Start thinking outside the box here, can't you just buy a friggin' $5.00 bottle of hair color and be done with it??? I will even come over and color it for you - oooh, GIRLS NIGHT!!LMAO
  • 4thewolf
    Ohhh, soo true!!! I think you'll have to do it though- once I tried to dye my hair red and it turned..peach. After that, no more colors.

    OOH, *squeals*

    Girls NIGhT!!!

    Can we prank call KOG?

    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    First of all, it won't be much of a girls night if KOG isn't there!

    And second of all I'm not that fun to prank call, unless you want the cops on your doorstep!
    NO ONE messes with my beauty sleep! haha
  • 4thewolf
    Oooh, Ok, We'll invite you.

    Will Kellan be crashing the party if you're there?
    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Hmm he might! I bet you'd like that!
    Too bad we'd be sneaking away to make some "private prank calls," if that's what you wanna call it! haha
    Oops! There goes the girls night!
    lol
  • 4thewolf
    I see we had the same idea. LOL

    Perhaps IREP and I will just come up with our own mischief.

    Hee Hee.

    Better not let anyone know where you and Kellan will be located.



    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    You better not be having the same idea as me! haha

    Yeah I can imagine what you two would come up with! I'd be afraid to leave you two alone!

    Oh don't worry, Kellan and I are good at keeping our location secret! How do you think I've stayed out of the tabloids for so long! lol
  • 4thewolf
    Oh, EFFing_ *sing-song voice*

    I believe your stalking skills will come in handy. We have just been issued a challenge.

    "Find and abort make-out session"

    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    A make out session? Who are you looking for?!? haha
  • 4thewolf
    Gosh, I wonder!

    *wide eyes*
  • LMAO ha! y'all are hilarious and yes jacob prefers brunettes. too bad for you, he'll notice the change in your hair right away! muhahaha
  • 4thewolf
    NOoooooooooooo. I will never stop trying to be the brunette that he desires.

    LOL
  • the real thing is always better! ;D
  • 4thewolf
    YOu just disappeared off the radar, stalker.
    I was joking about testing your skills.
    :-(
    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Even she doesnt wanna talk to you! haha
    Maybe I should have left with her! lol
    =D
    Kellan is calling me from my bed! haha
  • 4thewolf
    Wow, that was just about as cold as the vamps you hang out with.

    (Still trying to get warm from leaning up on Kellan)LOL

    Oh, is he calling you from your bed? What is he saying, "How did I get here? Who are you? And where is 4theWolf?"



    LOL
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    Cam-bone? Hahahahahaha - That's a dance from the 1920's, isn't it?
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Showing your age are you?!?! lmao!
  • 4thewolf
    LOL - I don't know. I don't remember that one. But if it's a dance, and Cam is there, I will happily do that one.
  • i_like_em_sparkly (Sparkly)
    only Edward could remember a dance from the 1920's
    lmao
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    That's right! I'm the sexiest 90 year old woman you've ever seen. I'm still younger than Edward. Chew on that Cam-bone!!!!!
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Heck yes you are! haha =D
  • KellansONLYGirl
    I don't think anyone wants to make a diversion for your dog mission!
    Holding Bella underwater! How dare you! I'm gunna send my monkey man after you! (And not in a good way!) lol
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    **sheepishly raising hand** Um, actually, I was going to assist her. She was going to attack bella with the marble fish and I was going to make a run for shirtless Edward in my own mermaid costume and brown wig....

    Please don't think less of me...

    **begging** I did it for Pattinson - you must understand....

    lmao
  • KellansONLYGirl
    You're a disgrace to the coven! "Bella is our family now!" Geeze woman!

    I thought you were better than that woman *glares at 4thewolf*
    =( haha

    But that's ok, I've had plans of running Rose over with a tank, so I guess I can understand (a little) haha
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    Assist? As in "Ass is t" in the fountain while I run to Rob and beat you to him so he can give some Italian love.
  • 4thewolf
    Oh, Please, KOG.

    It's not going to kill Bella to get a little water in her hair. And monkey man???

    Hahahahhahah- talk about conjuring up an image of flea-picking.

    Sure, though, send him after me

    I enjoy a good fight before...um... I'll just leave that unsaid.

    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    You're a crazy crazy woman! You and your crazy schemes! lol
    But she might need a bath anyways after hanging out with you dogs for so long! haha

    Yeah well I'm sorry, but he won't be going there for your enjoyment! Thank you very much! haha
  • 4thewolf
    I believe the "dogs" bathe quite frequently

    (First-hand knowledge, of course)



    So, what exactly are you saying? Kellan's not coming at all? Or he's supposedly not coming for my enjoyment?

    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Oh well every time they try and take me because you wolf girls just don't do it for them, I feel so dirty! They do smell ya know! But I guess you're used to it, being as dirty as them and all! haha =D

    I think that he will be there so that he can laugh at you when your mission fails! lol
  • 4thewolf
    Don't do it for them?? NO, no NO, KOG. Try and keep up, here. We're not talking about LAUNDRY. But that's very nice that you offer. I wondered why I always saw you carrying a small bag.



    Usually we don't do laundry for them, because, frankly, they don't really wear much. And I'm sure everyone has a smell, but wolf-girls don't generally notice because the um.. activities are rather breathtaking and when a girl can barely breathe, it sort of affects your ability to smell.



    *smirk*



    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    LMAO!

    If you don't do the laundry how can you have fun in the laundry room?!?!? That's my favorite place! On the washing machine and dryers! Come on! Maybe they just save their laundry for when I'm there because that's when the real fun begins!

    And yeah they told me that they make you wolf girls run on the treadmills for hours and then go on the elipticals! I'm sure that would take away your breathe! But at least you're in good shape!

    haha

    ps. You can wipe away that smirk now! Thank you very much!
  • 4thewolf
    *smirk firmly fixed on face, eyebrow up*

    KOG, sweetheart, perhaps they prefer having you in the laundry room, because you need a little help with the um.. moving.. part and the spin cycle and dryer can provide that.


    Hey, if they want to call it the "treadmill" and "elipticals", that's just fine by me. Doesn't really matter what code word they want to use for it, but yah, it really really does keep us in good shape.

    LOL
  • KellansONLYGirl
    No, I don't need help with the moving. TRUST ME! But they say sometimes they like trying new things instead of the same old boring lame ways you usually do it! You need to get creative woman! Keep those men interested!

    Code words? I'm pretty sure they werent talking about code words! But I guess you can keep dreaming whatever makes you happy! =D

    haha
  • 4thewolf
    *whispers* (be careful folks, she's a little delusional)

    Are we having insecurities, KOG, because I believe the psychological word for what you are doing is called "projecting' which is when one has an issue with something, but instead of facing it, believes that someone else is having that problem.

    It's ok. I'm sure you will learn.

    LOL

    And yes, code words. I can't even tell you what those mean, because I wouldn't want to make you blush and scream in public.
  • KellansONLYGirl
    Where did this psycho babble come from? I guess when the dogs are with me you need something to do! Might as well try and broaden your intellect. But it doesnt take much to be smarter than the muts! haha
  • 4thewolf
    It doesn't take much to be smarter than the mutts?

    Sweetheart, your boy is CHEWING A SWEATER!!!

    *think about that*

    Either he is not intelligent enough to figure out that it is not food

    or he's REALLY unsatisfied.



    Perhaps I should go pay him a visit.



    LOL
  • i_like_em_sparkly (Sparkly)
    That pointy thing on top of the fountain may be a bit uncomfortable for you but nonetheless, I am mailing you the mermaid costume tonight. (size 4-6X okay??)

    lmao
  • 4thewolf
    Thank you, Sparkly,

    I will eagerly look for said mermaid costume.

    Hmm.. may be a bit too small, but generally fountain maids tend to look as if they're wearing shreds, so... it will be a little sparse and I'll fit right in.

    LOL
  • i_like_em_sparkly (Sparkly)
    Anything to help...yes I guess the costume may be small, but considering the size of the fountain, if you can squeeze into it, it will work out perfectly.
    I think I may assist with the diversion as well.
    **untying Rob and taking duct tape off his mouth**
    **putting whipped cream and chocolate syrup back in fridge*
    I will walk down the street with Pattz while you expand the fountain...nobody will even notice you...
    **shouting**
    "Get dressed Rob, honey...we have a job to do!"
    lol
  • 4thewolf
    Wow, Sparkly.

    That, um, WILL create QUITE the diversion!!

    Perhaps you should hide the um..food items.. before you walk him through streets so as not to give 5,00 lust-crazed women the same ideas.

    LOL
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    *adds ropes to the pile* here, let me help! ;)
  • 4thewolf
    Well, hey, JO86who wants... (please! must I type the rest? LOL )
    Of course, of course, The more help the better, and since you also border on slightly insane, you shall be invaluable in carrying out this dangerous mission.
    Are you competent with a power saw, or will we have to make an emergency room visit?
    * hands Jo power tools*
    Alright, fountain reconstruction, here we come!

    LOL
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    LMAO you can call me "Charlie's Jo" :D
    hmm power saw? *hides her injured-in-the-process-of-slicing-bread hand behind ger back* SURE! :)
    I'll also take fake moustache and a pair of socks to put in out pants ;)

    I wonder if I should take my credit card in case Rob wants me to pay him for the groping...
    LOL
  • 4thewolf
    Hey, Charlie's JO

    *takes back power saw*

    Um... actually I've decided to pass the power saw onto Howl2- not that I don't, uh...trust you or anything. LOL
    You can stand there and just radiate beauty and fun as a distraction and I will work with power saws.

    Don't bring money.. I'm sure you are a very gift from heaven. Money will ruin the moment.

    LOL
  • OMG Tres cool! I just can't wait for November! I also booked the day off! LOL
  • Thats just as imagined it to be. I can't wait for New Moon!!!!
  • KellansONLYGirl
