Orvieta's magnificent Duomo (cathedral) is considered one of the must-see churches in Italy for its stunning gold-and-mosaic Gothic façade and magnificent frescoes by Luca Signorelli, which had a great influence on Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel.

When you are in Orvieto, Italy, the wonders never stop. From the beautiful Cathedral with the impressive murals to the long, winding, and cobblestoned streets, Orvieto and the Duomo is a must-see stop whenever you are in Italy.

This stunning sixteenth-century palazzo has very recently been restored and opened to the public. It deserves to be much better known. The building itself is very fine, as is the setting, in a charming square with a view over the Umbrian hills. The interior is remarkable. It has a series of rooms on the ground floor with mythological frescoes and outrageously good grotteschi by an artist called Giambattista Lombardelli (I hadn't heard of him either, but this was really impressive work). Upstairs, there are further frescoes, of Roman history, from Plutarch, and some extraordinary coffered ceilings. In the early seventeenth century, the palace belonged to Federico Cesi, founder of the earliest scientific academy, the Lincei (the lynx-eyed), of which Galileo was a member, and there are very interesting notice boards in each of the rooms giving information on their activities. The combination of attractive and beautifully restored art and history of science is unusual and quite compelling. Can't recommend this one enough, especially combined with a meal at the excellent local restaurant Vigna del Borgo.
