The church is not as well known as teh cathedral and the sanctuary of Santa Rosa but contains one o the most beautiful and ingeniously painted flat ceilings that looks like a vault besides possessing and incredible painting with tow paintings one on either side of the same canvas which, besides the extensive use of lapis lazuli is still apparently a mystery of how it was managed . But the false perspectives of the ceiling are simply incredible . The church is managed by the Confraternity of St John the Baptist who are restoring it and who only ask for a donation for a explanation and guide around the church's treasures. Certainly a must for any art lover

First of all, I would forget about the direct view of the villa and look for some satellite views of the property. The property is awesome. The artwork amazing. It costs 5E. If you go make sure you explore the gardens and walk up into the park and go all the way to the top of the property and check out the other "house". You cannot go inside but the scale of everything will blow you away. End by checking out the grotto at the exit. I would go all the way to the villa looking for a park. More parking exists (at the same price 1E/hour even past the entrance. The official entrance is not that obvious lets just say it is next to a small wooden "vendor" type shed that might not be open. You enter stright from the grand entrance. Amazing, not to be missed.

Located in the beautiful and peaceful town of Tarquinia this museum houses incredible examples of the ancient Etruscan people. The workmanship of the stone masons on the sarcophagi is truly amazing.....the workmanship on the pottery vessels represents a very high level or skill. While visiting this facility take some time to walk up the cobbled street and see the the old town center and fountain.

Our guide was Riccardo, and the tour was in Italian. We totally recommend this tour, beside the amazing experience of going underground and walking through the ancient aqueduct, it was a simple, yet professional and informed, introduction to the history of Orte and the region. Riccardo is super nice and a very skilled guide. We had a great time and strongly recommend this to anyone visiting the region.
