Back in Etruscan times, Orvieto was one of the most important cities of a blooming civilization and today it keeps standing out, proudly, on a big chunk of tuffaceous stone, looking down the plain below. Your knowledgeable guide will disclose you the fascinating history as well as the precious gems of this town floating on tuff. You will start your walking tour from Orvieto’s Cathedral, an imposing and impressive architectural masterpiece that dominates the town with its colorful, spiky façade filled with sparkly, golden mosaics, stained glass and statues.

In St. Lorenzo Cathedral you will visit the relic of Virgin Mary’s wedding ring, a unique piece that attracts worshippers from all over the world. You will then step off the beaten tracks to discover an extraordinary place where traditions blend in with excellent craftmanship. We have the keys to open exclusively for you a marvelous textile boutique situated inside a former Gothic church – a stunning location that preserved the mesmerizing story of a local seamstress, the last person in the whole world to perpetuate the Medieval Perugian weaving tradition, reproducing the exact same fabrics you will find in Renaissance paintings, such as Leonardo’s Last Supper.
But your journey is yet to be over, as we leave Perugia to reach another pearl of the Middle Ages: welcome to Assisi. A sinuous scenery frames this breathtaking architectural jewel, incredibly attractive not only for its artistic masterpieces but mainly for its spiritual and religious force, being the charming town that in the 12th century gave birth to the worldwide beloved Saint Francis.
