| 説明 | The small city of Orvieto is about 120 km (75 mi) from Rome. The Etruscans dug a large labyrinth of tunnels and rooms in the soft volcanic stone under what is the city today. Guided tours of the underground are available and that was the reason for our visit here. Orvieto is a city and comune in the Province of Terni, southwestern Umbria, Italy, situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The city rises dramatically above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone, called tufa. Orvieto was certainly a major centre of Etruscan civilization that predated the Roman era. Orvieto was annexed by Rome in the third century BC. On 15 November 1290, Pope Nicholas IV laid the cornerstone for the present cathedral and dedicated it to the Assumption of the Virgin, a feast for which the city had a long history of special devotion.. The church is striped in white travertine and greenish-black basalt in narrow bands,. In the following decade the structure was stabilized and a new façade was added. The choir was enlarged and a transept with two chapels was added. The cathedral has five bells, tuned in E flat, which date back to the renaissance.[Wikipedia] |
