We had a wonderful time at Madonna del Latte. One of the top wine tastings we have ever experienced. It's hard to say what was more powerful, the excellent wines, the beautiful setting, or the exceptional hospitality from Leon and Ruta.

Reviewed By caridadisabel - Amelia, Italy

If you’re traveling between Rome and Orvieto, I suggest you make a stop at Alviano and it’s sweet little castle. The guided tour, included in the entrance price is interesting and insightful into the local history and culture. Exit Attigliano off the A1 highway and drive up the hill.

Cappella Di San Brizio (Duomo)

Reviewed By VadimM67 - Murmansk, Russia

Known since the times of Dante, what is more interesting is society going to hell than in heaven. The same idea is visited in the chapel of San Brizio. The only scene of hell Sermon and deeds of Antichrist. The frescoes on the ceiling belong to the brush of fra Angelico. The good society of the apostles, angels, bishops and martyrs written by the Italian painter carefully. All that You have seen many times before. There`s the true pearl of chapel and Cathedral in general, it is the frescoes by Luca Signorelli. The seven frescoes by Signorelli in the chapel there. These are Sermon, the Destruction of the world, the Resurrection of the flesh, the Damned, the Elected, Heaven, Hell. Their importance to the world of art is that they inspired Michelangelo in the Grand work in the Sistine chapel. But Signorelli was the first who was able to portray the human body. Signorelli has always paid great attention to anatomy. It was said that his school was at the funeral. The artist was able to convey the dynamics of the naked body as well and is even better than antique. The Renaissance is manifested in this. There is a perception that Signorelli depicted the Friar in the image of the Antichrist on the mural of the Sermon. Despite all his talent, Signorelli revenged Savonarola. Savonarola was a Dominican monk, established in Florence, theocratic Republic and expelled Lorenzo de ' Medici, and along with him his favorites, including Signorelli. Signorelli has painted himself on the frescoes. Even a few times. The artist from Cortona has depicted himself in the lower right corner in the image of the monk (Sermon). The second monk is fra Angelico. Signorelli painted himself one more time in the neighbouring fresco of the "Damned". But now he made himself in the form of a horned demon, grasping a young woman who tries to escape from his embrace. This same woman depicted in the mural at the top, where the demon flies with her to the hell. The third time the master has depicted the same woman in the fresco of the Sermon, where she sells herself to the old merchant. Maybe it's the story of a woman who was unfaithful Signorelli. It reminded me again, as in the Raphael`s Stanzas gorgeous scene from the film of Giuseppe Tornatore "Baaria".Visiting artist decorated the ceiling of the local Church religious scene, taking as the sitters for the saints of the local "characters", so to conduct the services was impossible: instead of having to listen to the sermon, the congregation whispered, showing each other up at the ceiling:"He portrayed the drunk in the form of St. Peter! Where have you seen? And that angel is my brother, he recently had surgery in Palermo. — And how? — Well, thank you...". We look at these scenes from a distance. While Signorelli painted an imaginary hell, but real, of his life. In fact, as we are.

Dates back to the beginning of 1950 the acquisition of the land where today Enrico Neri’s winery sits. We are in Bardano, on the outskirts of Orvieto, a town perched on a volcanic rock dedicated to the viticulture tradition since Etruscan times. This is the story of a family’s passion and their dedication to an ancient practise considered one of the oldest in Italy. Committed to this important heritage, the Neri family has decided to live and work in the country. Their wine is the result of this connection between what characterized their life and their devotion to nature.Enrico Neri’s Estate would like to welcome anyone, who wishes to know the family’s history, the way of living and the wine processing.

Great spot. Beautiful setting. The tasting was fabulous and included charcuterie. The tour was very interesting with a visit to the cellar. We were able to purchase wine and olive oil and have it shipped home to the US in a timely fashion and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend for a wine tasting close to Rome!

Pozzo della Cava

Pozzo della Cava is more than just a well... ...it's one of the highlights of a historical and archaeological tour of Orvieto...it's a place where the past and the present combine with respect for twenty-seven centuries of tradition...it's an invitation to discover Etruscans, Middle Ages and Renaissance, because Orvieto is not only the Cathedral...it's a fascinating underground itinerary located in the heart of Orvieto, through caves full of recently discovered archaeological finds...it's an unusual way of discovering the history the city known as Urbs Vetus and the customs of its people...it's an original opportunity to retake possession of a disinterred heritage

We had already done the Underground Orvieta tour but found this one very interesting as well. Visitors here are allowed to wander at their own pace; there are clear detailed descriptions all along the way. The well has obviously been well studied with seemingly accurate explanations of the workings of the Etruscan inhabitants. The depth of the excavation is surprising. One hour is probably adequate but there is also a well-stocked book and gift shop to explore.
