Not to be missed in your area: visit to “Italy's Slowest Town of Orvieto” & “San Casciano Dei Bagni”
Orvieto , considered one the strongest model of slow city in Italy, is working to protect its traditional foods and wines from the global marketplace--and its medieval walled center from the effects of mass tourism, In the 14th century, the fortress town was a no-go zone, so bloody was the rivalry between its two leading families, the Monaldeschis and the Filippeschis. Even Dante cited their feud in Il Purgatorio , comparing them to the warring Montecchis and Capuletis of Verona (Shakespeare's inspiration for Romeo and Juliet ). Today, Orvieto with its neat and relaxed stone streets is the perfect place to live and to spend a vacation.
Orvieto's popularity is mostly acquired to the striking black-and-white cathedral . Begun in 1290, the duomo is regarded as one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Italy, its façade is a riot of mosaics and sculptures, its interior graced with Luca Signorelli's recently restored frescoes of the Last Judgment . Orvieto's Old Town, 300 feet above the plains on a volcanic mesa, still has the stone outer walls built in the 16th century to repel marauders.
Orvieto's other charms--and its claim to Slow City status--are no less enticing. Each October, under the aegis of Slow Food, it holds a gastronomic festival that honors Umbria's reputation as the nation's most fertile region, with traditional foods such as truffles, pork, and olive oil. All the best restaurants and cafés take part, displaying ORVIETO CON GUSTO stickers in their windows. Must see if you are in the area during this time of the year!
Also, indulge in a day spa at San Casciano Dei Bagni new well being center. Special program including treatments at the Spa can be arranged upon request.
