text: President Jeffrey Allen "Jeff" Michener (died 2016) was the former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Immune to the Red Flu, Michener is the sole surviving member of the Cabinet of the United States, which makes him next in the Presidential line of succession. In "A More Perfect Union", he was officially sworn in as President of the United States in St. Louis, Missouri, by a surviving judge. He is portrayed by Mark Moses.

text: Prior to the outbreak of the Red Flu, Michener served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. When the outbreak began, the president sent Michener to Tallahassee, Florida to set up a safe zone in Doak Campbell Stadium. During this time, he had his son flown in from Michigan to be with the family. Unbeknownst to Michener, his son had contracted the virus while in Michigan, thus creating an outbreak of the virus in the stadium. After his son's death, his wife begged him to smother their two daughters before the virus fully incapacitated them. Michener obliged.[21]

text: After the death of his family, Michener wandered around Florida trying to expose himself to sick people in the hopes of catching a different strand of the virus. Eventually, he ran into a group of Immunes who took him into their group. It was around this time that he was introduced to the Ramsey brothers, who planned to use him as a political puppet in order to gain control of the United States. Michener was rescued in "Alone and Unafraid" by CDR Chandler, LT Burk, and Lt. Bivas inside the Ramsey's compound in Florida.[22]

text: While on board the Nathan James and suffering from survivor's guilt, Michener slit his wrists in a suicide attempt.[21] After being freed from the Ramseys' brainwashing, Michener became a staunch ally and supporter of the Nathan James and its crew, helping the American public gain back the trust the ship needed in order to spread the cure.

text: After the defeat of the Immunes and the successful creation of the "contagious cure" by Dr. Rachel Scott, Michener is sworn in as President of the United States by a surviving judge in St. Louis. One of Michener's first official acts as President is to issue pardons to the Immunes who got swept up in the Ramsey brothers' campaign, as well as to Dr. Scott, who intentionally killed Niels Sørensen in order to create the contagious cure; he also promoted CDR Chandler to Chief of Naval Operations while the Nathan James is in drydock.[8]

text: Over the next few months, President Michener set up a new federal government based out of the Old Courthouse in St. Louis, which he named the new capital of the United States. He appointed St. Louis Mayor Howard Oliver (John Cothran) as his Vice President, Allison Shaw (Elisabeth Röhm) as his Chief of Staff, and Alex Rivera (Nestor Serrano) as his Secretary of Foreign Affairs; CAPT Chandler, as Chief of Naval Operations, also served as Michener's de facto military commander in lieu of an official Secretary of Defense.[3]

text: In the episode "In the Dark," reporter Jacob Barnes reveals to the public that President Michener flew his infected son to his safe zone in Florida against protocols that resulted in an outbreak there. Consumed by grief and humiliation, he commits suicide in his hotel room and is found by Kara Green and two Secret Service agents.[23] However, it was later revealed that President Michener was actually murdered as part of a planned coup d'état orchestrated by the regional leaders and his Chief of Staff, Allison Shaw.[15]

text: Howard Oliver[edit]

text: The former Mayor of Saint Louis, who served as Vice President of the United States under President Jeffrey Michener. Upon Michener's death, Oliver cancelled short a diplomatic trip to South America and returned to the United States, where he was sworn in as President.[24] Initially held up in a Costco, his effective leadership as Mayor during the Red Flu pandemic resulted in the St. Louis area having one of the lowest casualty rates in the country, and he became revered for inspiring hope in the people. He is later held hostage in the White House by Allison Shaw and members of the United States Secret Service loyal to her, forced to be a puppet for her and the regional leaders under threat of his family being executed. He is later rescued by the crew of the USS Nathan James, and operates in exile out of the office used by Michener aboard the ship for a brief period of time.

text: He is portrayed by John Cothran.

text: Allison Shaw[edit]

text: Allison Shaw is the former White House Chief of Staff, serving under President Michener and President Oliver. It is implied in the episode "Sea Change" that she was in a secret relationship with President Michener. Shaw reveals that she is the leader of the coup d'état against President Oliver in the episode "Paradise". As a component of the coup d'état, Shaw and four out of the five regional leaders authorized the murders of Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alex Rivera and the fifth regional leader, Senator William Beatty. Shaw also authorized the murder of President Michener in the episode "In The Dark," with her Secret Service agents staging the scene to make it look like a suicide. Shaw is shot and killed by Captain Chandler during a moment of rage in the Season 3 finale "Don't Look Back" after he learns that she had his father killed, his children kidnapped, and the death of Tex at the hands of her men.

text: She is portrayed by Elisabeth Röhm.

text: Alex Rivera[edit]

text: Alex Rivera was the United States Secretary of Foreign Affairs under President Michener and briefly under President Oliver. Rivera and Senator William Beatty were shot and killed by order of Allison Shaw and the four remaining regional leaders in the Season 3 episode "Paradise."

text: Ray Mabus[edit]

text: The real-life United States Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, cameoed as himself in "It's Not a Rumor", issuing orders to the crew of the Nathan James via a recorded message; by the time the ship received the orders, Secretary Mabus had succumbed to the "Red Flu" virus.

He controls a large army of fighters, in addition to remnants of the Hellenic Navy, including Hydra class battle ship HS Triton, where his laboratory is located. It is later revealed he plans on synthesising a drug from the mutated Nostros weed (which acts as an inhibitor to the brains stress and aggression positive feedback group, rendering those effected by it docile and unable to fight), and use it in conjunction with controlling the food supply with the cure for the Red Rust.

This includes a fleet of four Hydra class warships: the HS Proteus, HS Nereus, HS Demeter and HS Triton. Upon discovering Vellek has made a similar deal with the United Kingdom, he becomes enraged and threatens the family.

document_title: Volterra

question_text: where was the volturi scene filmed in italy

text: Volterra

text: History[edit]

text: Volterra, known to the ancient Etruscans as Velathri or Vlathri[3] and to the Romans as Volaterrae,[4] is a town and comune in the Tuscany region of Italy. The town was a Bronze Age settlement of the Villanovan culture,[5][6] and an important Etruscan center (Velàthre, Velathri or Felathri in Etruscan, Volaterrae in Latin language), one of the "twelve cities" of the Etruscan League.[7][8]

text: The site is believed to have been continuously inhabited as a city since at least the end of the 8th century BC.[9][10][11] It became a municipium allied to Rome at the end of the 3rd century BC.[12][13] The city was a bishop's residence in the 5th century,[14] and its episcopal power was affirmed during the 12th century. With the decline of the episcopate, Volterra became a place of interest of the Florentines, whose forces conquered Volterra.[15] Florentine rule was not always popular, and opposition occasionally broke into rebellion. These rebellions were put down by Florence.

text: When the Florentine Republic fell in 1530, Volterra came under the control of the Medici family and later followed the history of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

text: Main sights[edit]

text:
Roman Theatre of Volterra (it), 1st century BC, excavated in the 1950s[16][17]
Piazza dei Priori (it), the main square, a fine example of medieval Tuscan town squares[18][19][20]
Palazzo dei Priori (it), the town hall located on Piazza dei Priori, construction begun in 1208 and finished in 1257[21][22][23]
Pinacoteca (it) (Art Gallery) in Palazzo Minucci-Solaini (it).[24][25] Founded in 1905,[26][27] the gallery consists mostly of works by Tuscan artists from 14th to 17th centuries.[28] Includes a Deposition by Rosso Fiorentino.[29][30]
Volterra Cathedral. It was enlarged in the 13th century after an earthquake. It houses a ciborium and some angels by Mino da Fiesole, a notable wood Deposition (1228), a masterwork of Romanesque sculpture and the Sacrament Chapel, with paintings by Santi di Tito, Giovanni Balducci and Agostino Veracini. In the center of the vault are fragments of an Eternal Father by Niccolò Circignani. Also noteworthy is the Addolorata Chapel, with a terracotta group attributed to Andrea della Robbia and a fresco of Riding Magi by Benozzo Gozzoli. In the nearby chapel, dedicated to the Most Holy Name of Jesus, is a table with Christ's monogram, allegedly painted by Bernardino of Siena. The rectangular bell tower is from 1493.
Volterra Baptistery of San Giovanni, built in the second half of the 13th century.
Fortezza Medicea (Medicean Fortress),[31] build in the 1470s,[32] now a prison[33] housing the noted restaurant, Fortezza Medicea restaurant.[34][35][36]
Guarnacci Etruscan Museum (it),[37][38] with thousands of funeral urns dating back to the Hellenistic and Archaic periods.[39][40] Main attractions are the bronze statuette "Ombra della sera" (lit. "Shadow of the Night"),[41] and the sculpted effigy, "Urna degli Sposi" (lit. "Urn of the Spouses") of an Etruscan couple in terra cotta.[42][43][44][45]
The Etruscan City Walls (it), including the well-preserved Porta all'Arco (it) (3rd-2nd centuries BC),[46][47] and Porta Diana (it) gates.[48][49]
The Medici Villa di Spedaletto (it), outside the city, in direction of Lajatico[50]
There are excavations of Etruscan tombs in the Valle Bona area.

text: In fiction[edit]

text:
Volterra features in Horatius, a poem by Lord Macaulay.[51][52]
Linda Proud's A Tabernacle for the Sun (2005), the first volume of The Botticelli Trilogy, begins with the sack of Volterra in 1472. Volterra is the ancestral home of the Maffei family and the events of 1472 lead directly to the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478. The protagonist of the novel is Tommaso de' Maffei, half brother of one of the conspirators.
Volterra is an important location in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. In the books, Volterra is home to the Volturi, a coven of rich, regal, powerful ancient vampires, who essentially act as the rulers of the world's vampire population. (However, the relevant scenes from the movie were shot in Montepulciano.)
Volterra is the site of Stendhal's famously disastrous encounter in 1819 with his beloved Countess Mathilde Dembowska: she recognised him there, despite his disguise of new clothes and green glasses, and was furious. This is the central incident in his book On Love (fr).[53][54]
Volterra is mentioned repeatedly in British author Dudley Pope's Captain Nicholas Ramage historical nautical series. Gianna, the Marchesa of Volterra and the fictional ruler of the area, features in the first twelve books of the eighteen-book series. The books chart the progress and career of Ramage during the Napoleonic wars of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, providing readers with well-scripted articulate details of life aboard sailing vessels and conditions at sea of that time.[55][56]
Volterra is the site where the novel Chimaira by the Italian author Valerio Massimo Manfredi takes place.[57]
Valerio Massimo Manfredi's The Ancient Curse is also set in Volterra, where a statue called 'The Shade of Twilight' is stolen from the Volterra museum.
Volterra is featured in Jhumpa Lahiri's 2008 collection of short stories, Unaccustomed Earth. It is where Hema and Kaushik, the protagonists of the final short story "Going Ashore," travel before they part.[58]
Volterra is featured in Luchino Visconti's 1965 film Sandra.[59]
Volterra's scenery is used for Central City in the 2017 film Fullmetal Alchemist (film) directed by Fumihiko Sori.
2016 video game The Town of Light is set in a fictionalized version of the notorious Volterra Psychiatric Hospital.[60]

text: People[edit]

text:
Persius, (34-62), the Roman satirist of Etruscan stock
Pope Linus, who, according to the Liber Pontificalis, was born in Volterra, and was the successor to Peter.[61]
Lucius Petronius Taurus Volusianus, consul with the Emperor Gallienus in AD 261 and Urban Prefect in AD 267-268
Daniele da Volterra, (1509-1566), Mannerist painter
The poet Jacopo da Leona was a judge at Volterra in the 13th century.
The Maffei family of Volterra produced the apostolic Secretary Gherardo Maffei and his three sons: the eldest Antonio Maffei, who was one of the assassins in the Pazzi Conspiracy against the Medici in 1478; second the humanist Raffaello Maffei called "Volterrano" who also served in the Curia; and youngest Mario Maffei, who was also a scholar and followed his father in the curia.
Emilio Fiaschi (1858-1941), sculptor

text: Transport[edit]

text: Volterra has a station on the Cecina-Volterra Railway (it), called "Volterra Saline – Pomarance" due to its position, in the frazione of Saline di Volterra.[62][63]

text: Events[edit]

text: The main events that take place during the year in Volterra are

text:
Volterra gusto[64]
Volterra arte
Volterra teatro[65]
