Lisa Smith and Sarah Holding, the producers of Monte Vista and the hosts for the chat, gave an in-depth walkthrough of the town and questions from the community were answered.<ref>http://www.origin.com/sims-3-monte-vista-chat</ref> According to the live chat: Line 719 ⟶ 717: ==Trivia== Several street names are referenced to make Monte Vista Italian-themed. ''Desdamona'' Drive - [[Wikipedia:Desdemona (Othello)\|~~Desdamona~~Desdemona]] (in a play [[Wikipedia:Othello\|Othello]]) is the name of a character who is Venetian, a person who lives in Venice, '''Italy'''. ''Verona'' Way and Via ''Verona''ville - [[Wikipedia:Verona\|Verona]] is a city in the Veneto region at northern '''Italy'''. Verona is famous for the play ''[[Wikipedia:Romeo and Juliet\|Romeo and Juliet]]'' and in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', for [[Veronaville]]. ''Toscana'' Drive - Toscana is [[Wikipedia:Tuscany\|Tuscany]] in Italian, a region in '''Italy'''. ''Bella'' Vista Drive - [[Wikipedia:Bella\|Bella]] is "beautiful" in '''Italian'''. It may be referenced to [[Bella Goth]] as well, and "Bellavista" is also the Italian name for [[Pleasantview]]. ''Stella'' Street - [[Wikipedia:Stella\|Stella]] is "star" in '''Italian'''. ''Regalia'' Court - [[Wikipedia:Regalia\|Regalia]] means the privileges (e.g. executive power) and the insignia (e.g. crowns and other symbols of office) characteristic of a sovereign, or ruler, in Latin. Line 731 ⟶ 729: Stratford Street Via Veronaville Due to the appearance of the Monty family, the numerous shared street names, some which directly mention Veronaville, the presence of [[Octavius Capp]] in the local graveyard as well the similar architecture, some players have theorized that Monte Vista in fact is Veronaville, or that the towns are close together, similar to the connection between [[Sunset Valley]], [[Neighborhood 1]] and [[Pleasantview]]. However, Monte Vista is entirely based on Italy, while Veronaville has a comparatively small "Italian" side, with the majority of it's buildings being in a decidedly Northern European style. "Monte Vista" is a partial phonetic anagram of "Mona Lisa", a famous painting made by an Italian artist called Leonardo Da Vinci. The phrase itself roughly translates to "Mountain View". [[File:16th_Century_Monte_Vista_Globe_Bar.png\|thumb\|16th Century Monte Vista Globe Bar.]] Monte Vista is themed after a typical Italian hilltop town and resembles cities in the [[Wikipedia:Tuscany\|Tuscany]] region of Italy, including [[Wikipedia:Volterra\|Volterra]] and [[Wikipedia:Monteriggioni\|Monteriggioni]]. As noted by Rebecca Sherin, the town was based on San Gimignano <ref>[http://rjshearin.com/worlds.html Rebecca Shearin Worlds]</ref> Monte Vista is mentioned in the object description of the "16th Century Monte Vista Bar Globe" from ''[[The Sims 4: Vintage Glamour Stuff]]''. It was created by a Sim named J. Marano. ==Gallery== Line 808 ⟶ 810: </tabber> ==~~Reference~~References== {{Reflist}} ==External ~~Links~~links== *[http://store.thesims3.com/montevista.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:58421 Monte Vista on The Sims 3: Store] Line 819 ⟶ 821: {{S-aft\|after=[[Aurora Skies]]\|release=February 21, 2013}} {{S-end}} {{TS3Worlds}} ~~{{TS3Neighborhoods}}~~ [[fr:Monte Vista]] [[pt-br:Monte Vista]] [[nl:Monte Vista]] [[ru:Монте Виста]] [[pl:Monte Vista]] [[Category:Official downloads]] ~~[[Category:Neighborhoods]]~~
