Duomo di Orvieto

After seeing the crowds pouring into the city, I figured that I should see the inside of the duomo soon. When I got there, there were crowds outside. Well dressed crowds. It was people there for a wedding!

The inside of the church is absolutely beautiful. Not sure how to describe-- cohesive? There was a chapel with frescoes of heaven and hell. The best part was that people painting under those pictures seemed to be watching or commenting on what was going on above them.

While I was walking around, the organ was playing and a singer was singing--presumably for the wedding. It was a nice treat. I was just getting ready to leave when he started singing Ave Maria. Wow... What an experience.Leggi altro
