Orvieto is a city situated atop a tuff cliff in the heart ofUmbria. Famous for its thousand-year history and artistic and cultural heritage, Orvieto is enveloped in a special medieval and Renaissance atmosphere. The cathedral, a Roman-Gothic masterpiece, holds treasures such as the Brizio Chapel, an artistic unicum.

Frescoed by Luca Signorelli, the Last Judgment is one of the greatest works of Italian Renaissance art. Next to the Duomo, however, is the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which houses works of art including paintings by Simone Martini and Luca Signorelli. Orvieto is also famous for its even more distant past: its necropolis such as those at Crocifisso, its Roman artifacts housed inside the Claudio Faina Archaeological Museum tell its thousand-year history.
