After a morning exit from Assisi we drove to Orvieto. I originally went here because a bus driver on one of the first trips recommended it. He said, if you want to start early we can stop to see some paintings in Orvieto. I was beyond my wildest dreams because it was the famous Luca Signorelli frescos of the end of time! The chapel here is sensory overload to the max.
There is speculation that Michelangelo came here and was inspired to paint his Last Judgment for the Sistine Chapel. Sherri and I spent 4 or 5 days here one summer taking in the fresco at different times of day and have been back with Bethany groups every trip.
