64. Two more Jewels in Umbria
The villages of Orvieto and Todi in southwest Umbria are quite simply, fantastic! Orvieto's crown jewel is the Duomo from 1290, yet two-thirds of it's exterior is so contemporary it's hard to believe it's 732 years old! This hilltop small city should be on your list to visit for the visuals alone, not to mention the underground city carved from the volcanic rock, the cuisine and of course the people. Teh village of Todi has the distinction of being called One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, and rightfully so. It's a perfectly preserved teeny village that looks as if it stepped right out of the middle ages. It's a wonder to visit, but even more special extraordinary if you stay the night. You will be happy you did.
