     Beautiful day trip to Orvieto  only one hour far from Florence

            with an old friend of mine, that has got a wonderful Villa  in    Orvieto to rent ... see below

               that is the famous gothic Duomo  one of the most beautiful Cathedral of Italy

                                       the bell tower with a man ringing 

                                     the bell every hour

                                      pinocchio relaxing after a long walk

                                          a dog relaxing after a short drive 
                                         through Orvieto

                Orvieto in the distance and vineyards of the 

                               typical Orvieto wine       

                          called Orvieto Classico, doc

Civita di Bagnoreggio, the dying city.... 

built on a tufa hill very close to Orvieto, it worth a visit
