A Journey Through Umbria
May, 2018
Ancient entrances
to the past...and the present;
Umbrian portals
These photos can't begin to convey the wonder and beauty of this Umbrian jewel. Next posting...on to some other nearby cities, towns and villages ...check back in a few days if you're interested. Thanks for joining me on this Orvieto visit...

to the past...and the present;
Umbrian portals
Here we are, back amongst the rolling hills of the beautiful Umbrian countryside...but we're up on the top of a rocky outcropping in Orvieto, Italy.
Toni DeBella writes..."Orvieto has such a rich history- once Etruscan, then Medieval and now a vibrant, modern small city always buzzing with excitement, art, culture, music, food and wine..." Too, let me add the attraction of the warm, welcoming Orvietani...the people of Orvieto. My annual journey for the past 6 years...it always feels like coming home.
This year, our daughter started her business- ADVENTURES IN ITALY (http://aiitaly.co/)
arranging art workshops (and so much more) with artists and students from all over... continuing a business established 15 years ago by Bill and Kristi Steiner. Michael and I were there for support,
but we did some traveling to enjoy a bit of what Umbria has to offer.
First, the beauty of Orvieto...
