Last Day in Orvieto

The last day in Orvieto, we began with classwork, and then spent the rest of the day exploring.

We went to the Pozzo de San Patrizio, or the Well of Saint Patrick. This was constructed on the instructions of Pope Clement when he fled the Vatican to avoid the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles. The best way to describe it is like a tower underground:






There was a gorgeous view from the outside entrance:





After the well, we went for gelato at our favorite place. One of the guys tried on Dr. Moldenhauer's hat:



For dinner that night, we went to an underground restaurant that used to be part of the caves under Orvieto:




The food was delicious.

Bye-bye, Orvieto! I hope to come back someday!
