Orvieto is a beautiful town perched atop a hill in Umbria. We visited there on the day of the Cronoscalata della Castellana (see previous blog post).
The central piazza has a design in the cobblestones.
If you climb up many stairs to the top of the Moor's Tower, you see a pretty view of the town...
... as well as the bell tower.
It's a long walk down the stairs.
The duomo, or cathedral, is quite colorful compared to the others we've seen around Rome these past couple of months.
Italy's got Dan's kinda people. We can tell because they have such events as the Cronoscalata della Castellana, an uphill race of vintage cars in Umbria.
The cars warmed up by zooming up a stretch of road one after the other. There were various makes and models from different countries, but Fiat was well represented.
When the drivers took a break, we could get an up-close look at their rides.
The actual race was against the clock, each car being timed separately rather than driving side by side.
They were loud and fast!
