The Program – Two Cities, Two Perspectives

The day begins in Orvieto, a city built on a spectacular tuff cliff that hides beneath it a dense network of tunnels, wells, and cellars carved out over more than two thousand years. The majestic Cathedral welcomes visitors with a façade adorned with mosaics and spires, while inside, the Chapel of San Brizio preserves one of the most extraordinary pictorial cycles of the Renaissance — a masterpiece whose intensity and vision anticipated Michelangelo’s language. During the excursion, a lunch break is planned in a panoramic location overlooking the cliff, where the cuisine enhances traditional flavors and the seasonality of ingredients. In the afternoon, the itinerary continues to Todi, halfway between the Tiber Valley and the Paglia Valley. Perched on its hilltop, the city reveals — through its squares, civic palaces, and narrow streets — an urban balance designed to withstand time. Here, the streets do not simply lead to a monument: they guide visitors toward vistas and viewpoints that make the Umbrian landscape truly unique.
