    Several scenes in the Twilight saga take place in the Hoh rainforest in Washington. It's one of the few temperate rainforests in the US and one of the largest in the world.

    The movie didn't shoot in Volterra, but in nearby Montepulciano. If you want to see the fountain that Bella runs across to stop Edward before he steps into the sun in all his sparkly glory, you're out of luck. The town square in Montepulciano does not have a fountain, one was constructed specifically for the movie shoot.
