TOUR OF ORVIETO

orvietoAfter 1 hour drive we will arrive in Orvieto, a gorgeous medieval small town, famous for its Cathedral. In 1263-64 a Boemian priest, Peter from Prague, went to Rome to better understand the miracle of Transubstantiation. Coming back from Rome, he stopped in Bolsena to celebrate a mass and he saw some blood stilling from the Holy Host. The Pope Urbano IV was in Orvieto that period and decided to transfer the Holy Linen from Bolsena to Orvieto. He decided also to create the "Corpus Domini" day, one of the most important day of Christianity. The day 13th of November 1290 Pope Nicoḷ IV put the first stone of the new church. The works continued for about three centuries and the first architect was Arnolfo di Cambio. The interior of the cathedral is simple and austere. To the transept is located a wonderful organ, one of the biggest in Italy. The most important work of art of the cathedral is the reliquary of the Holy Linen of Bolsena. There are also decorations of the miracle of Bolsena and life of Christ. The town is also famous for its colourful ceramics and its crisp white wine.
