Detailed itinerary
1
With a very suggestive definition, Orvieto has been called "the strange and tall city". It is easy to understand why, observing from below the Umbrian town standing above the tuff cliff below. From a distance, especially at night, it seems suspended in the sky while in the daytime, it appears barely leaning against the clouds.
2
Stop 2
Italian Gothic art wonder, the Cathedral of Orvieto reveals an extraordinary harmony despite the fact that 20 different artists have worked on it for more than 3 centuries. You will visit the building and San Brizio Chapel which main theme is the Last Judgment, a story in images of the end of the world populated by angels, terrifying demons, sinners waiting and saved flown to heaven.

Stop 3
the well is so called because of its resemblance to the cavity where the Irish saint loved to retire in prayer. It is 62 meters deep,entirely excavated in the tuff and reaches the water that is located under the cliff on which Orvieto is built. The light comes from 72 windows open towards the center of the well. If you want to find out what the pit is like at the bottom, there are 258 steps to go. And then go back.

Stop 4
From the Etruscans, to the Romans, to the Middle Ages, all ages overlap in this rare jewel that has led Civita di Bagnoregio, the country that dies a little every day, to become part of UNESCO World Heritage. The settlement stands on a tufa island resting on Pliocene sands subject to daily weathering erosion.
