Orvieto is a town in the green and picturesque region of Umbria. It lies 97 km from Rome and 150 from Florence and enjoys a strategic position at the crossroad between Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany. Built on top of a steep-sided outcrop of volcanic rock, in antiquity Orvieto was a flourishing Etruscan hill town. Important remains of Etruscan arts may be found all over the place.
The old, middle-age section of the town still retains its medieval atmosphere in the network of narrow, meandering alleyways, the many old houses, gothic churches and medieval towers and walls which have been preserved intact in it.
Orvieto cathedral is one of the major achievements of gothic architecture in Italy. Its facade and interior with the masterpieces by Orcagna, Maitani, Beato Angelico, Signorelli and other outstanding Italian painters and sculptors represent an example of the artistic treasures of Italy.
