Known since the times of Dante, what is more interesting is society going to hell than in heaven. The same idea is visited in the chapel of San Brizio. The only scene of hell Sermon and deeds of Antichrist. The frescoes on the ceiling belong to the brush of fra Angelico. The good society of the apostles, angels, bishops and martyrs written by the Italian painter carefully. All that You have seen many times before. There`s the true pearl of chapel and Cathedral in general, it is the frescoes by Luca Signorelli. The seven frescoes by Signorelli in the chapel there. These are Sermon, the Destruction of the world, the Resurrection of the flesh, the Damned, the Elected, Heaven, Hell. Their importance to the world of art is that they inspired Michelangelo in the Grand work in the Sistine chapel. But Signorelli was the first who was able to portray the human body. Signorelli has always paid great attention to anatomy. It was said that his school was at the funeral. The artist was able to convey the dynamics of the naked body as well and is even better than antique. The Renaissance is manifested in this. There is a perception that Signorelli depicted the Friar in the image of the Antichrist on the mural of the Sermon. Despite all his talent, Signorelli revenged Savonarola. Savonarola was a Dominican monk, established in Florence, theocratic Republic and expelled Lorenzo de ' Medici, and along with him his favorites, including Signorelli. Signorelli has painted himself on the frescoes. Even a few times. The artist from Cortona has depicted himself in the lower right corner in the image of the monk (Sermon). The second monk is fra Angelico. Signorelli painted himself one more time in the neighbouring fresco of the "Damned". But now he made himself in the form of a horned demon, grasping a young woman who tries to escape from his embrace. This same woman depicted in the mural at the top, where the demon flies with her to the hell. The third time the master has depicted the same woman in the fresco of the Sermon, where she sells herself to the old merchant. Maybe it's the story of a woman who was unfaithful Signorelli. It reminded me again, as in the Raphael`s Stanzas gorgeous scene from the film of Giuseppe Tornatore "Baaria".Visiting artist decorated the ceiling of the local Church religious scene, taking as the sitters for the saints of the local "characters", so to conduct the services was impossible: instead of having to listen to the sermon, the congregation whispered, showing each other up at the ceiling:"He portrayed the drunk in the form of St. Peter! Where have you seen? And that angel is my brother, he recently had surgery in Palermo. — And how? — Well, thank you...". We look at these scenes from a distance. While Signorelli painted an imaginary hell, but real, of his life. In fact, as we are.

With a few places left to visit on my "City Card" I decided to climb the many stairs to the top of Torre del Moro even though it was a warm summer afternoon. I was rewarded with incredible 360 degree views of the countryside and all of the major sights in the city of Orvieto. It's well worth the effort to climb the stairs to gain a perspective on this beautiful region.

9. Sacro Speco di San Francesco

4.5 based on 118 reviews
It is the oldest Franciscan place in Valnerina. Francis arrived here in 1213. He came from Narni, on foot, with a few of his companions, after one of the first apostolic missions. A researcher of solitary spaces suitable for prayer, the place must have been reported to him in the area. The Hermitage of the Sacro Speco is located a few kilometers from the medieval village of Sant'Urbano, which gave the original name to the place. In fact, for Francesco and the first biographers, this Sanctuary was known as "The Hermitage (or the desert) of S. Urbano". The origins of the hermitage date back to the year 1000. It depended on the Benedictines of S. Benedetto in Fundis di Stroncone; it included the various caves under the cliffs and the oratory of San Silvestro, which today presents precious fourteenth-century frescoes, with the adjacent cistern. Today the Hermitage is characterized by being a sanctuary, a House of prayer and spiritual welcome.

The Romans were amazing engineers, even more impressive when you realize they did everything with the crudest of tools (by modern standards). They were very smart about creating water storage for their towns, especially in areas that were not gifted with a natural water source. So, here they dug enormous underground chambers in order to collect and store rainwater. These rooms are amazing! Do stop here if you are in Amelia...well worth the reasonable ticket price...Wow!!!!
