My family and I went to Orvieto in the summer of 2007 and we fell in love, as well. (Of course I was already deeply in love with Italy, so it wasn't difficult to fall further)
Orvieto..Perugia, Assisi three of the best places in Italy..after Rome obviously.. :-)
Sometimes it is difficult to tell which one of 3 beautiful women (or man) is the most beautiful. Charm seems to be, luckily, still unique and personal. Luckily, not always one has to choose.
Orvieto is a "gran dama", just like you so aptly say. It has always been one of my favorites, a place I always go to willingly for the day. I am lucky beyond measure to have these crown jewels in my backyard, as I have blogged about from time to time! Even after 40 years, it is an overwhelming sensation to be in the center of magnificent Umbria...and in the center of Italy. Mary
