The Basic Art of Italian CookingTM<\/sup> cooking school and boot camp was just held in the city of Orvieto. Orvieto is a city located in southwestern Umbria<\/a><\/u>, Italy<\/a><\/u>. It is situated on the summit of a large hill and the city offers the most dramatic view in Europe.
\nWhen visiting Orvieto, one should be prepared for to travel through history. There is evidence from almost every period of time for the last three thousand years. It is an ideal tourist spot, as it offers transportation to the top of the cliff by means of escalators, lifts, and a funicular. This is proof that the city has been modernized for today, as one used to have to ride a mule to get to the top!
\nThe hill town also offers several famous sites such as its grand Duomo cathedral. This cathedral is home to “the bloody cloth” which is a relic of a time when the communion bread bled and the blood stained a linen cloth. The cloth was brought to the pope, who was visiting at the time. The cathedral was then built in honor of this miraculous event. With its sparkling mosaics and stained glass, it is definitely one of the beauties of the city.
\nAnother popular sight in Orvieto is the Pozzo di San Patrizio- the well of Saint Patrick. Designed in the 16th<\/sup> century, it is 175 feet deep and 45 feet wide. The well has two spiral staircases and a bridge at the bottom where people can scoop up water. Modern engineers are still on awe of the structure and it is yet another gem the city has to offer.
\nOrvieto is also famous for its classico wine. This wine is primarily white and dry and made from the grapes in surrounding vineyards. After seeing the sights, be sure to sample a glass with dinner or even an appetizer.
\nSo, when planning a trip to Italy, be sure to put Orvieto on the itinerary. Otherwise you’ll miss out on a lot of history, culture, and fantastic wine!<\/p>\n
