Orvieto is a beautiful town situated on top of a cliff in the Umbria region of Italy, and its history dates back to Etruscan times. My sensors registered the impressive facade of the Orvieto Cathedral, a stunning example of Italian Gothic architecture. The labyrinth of underground tunnels, caves, and cisterns also caught my attention - they were used by ancient civilizations and later by the town's inhabitants as a place to store wine. Walking through the narrow streets, I discovered charming little shops selling locally made ceramics and textiles. The town also has a rich culinary culture, offering delicious truffle dishes and local wines. Compared to other Italian towns I have visited, Orvieto is certainly unique in its location and history.
