Orvieto by day....pool party by sunset

The day started with our trip to Orvieto and a tour of the Cathedral of Orvieto, a large 14th century Roman Catholic cathedral situated in the town of Orvieto in Umbria, central Italy. Situated in a position dominating the town of Orvieto which sits perched on a volcanic plug, the cathedral’s façade is a classic piece of religious construction, containing elements of design from the 14th to the 20th century, with a large rose window, golden mosaics and three huge bronze doors, while inside resides two frescoed chapels decorated by some of the best Italian painters of the period with images of Judgment Day.

After lunch, we enjoyed an afternoon of swimming and volleyball at a local pool, nestled in the hills of Spoleto.  Our dinner was prepared with all-natural ingredients the chef pulled from his own gardens!  Several students mentioned this was one of their favorite days with the program.
