Orvieto Tapestries

Medieval town in Umbria, Italy. Oil on canvas.

Oriveto is an amazing historic city perched on a hillside in Umbria, on the cusp of Tuscany. Here, you'll fine secret pathways, Etruscan art, lovely shops, and historic churches and a gorgeous duomo or cathedral. Orvieto, down the road from Todi, famous for festivals, Orvieto hosts its own high-profile events like an annual jazz festival. If you're traveling through Umbia, it's worth taking the funicular up the hill to see this historic hill town with a fascinating history and lovely wine.

it's pure heaven for an artist to paint those honey-colored old buildings in medieval Italian town Orvieto. View is perfect, and air is clean and crisp, sending music of bells from nearby cathedrals.
