Libri di Piero Torriti

Orvieto is an extraordinarily charming town in Umbria, perched on a cliff and dominated by the soaring silhouette of its magnificent Gothic cathedral. This book presents its entire history through a collection of 200 color photographs, along with the masterpieces found inside its churches and museums, its palaces, and Etruscan necropolises. Special attention has been given to the chapter on the Cathedral, updated with new information and images that further highlight its remarkable artistic and architectural complexity. Additionally, the section on museums has been revised to reflect the recent reorganization of exhibition spaces and collections, offering a more current and coherent overview of the city’s heritage. Several in-depth features are dedicated to local traditions, folklore, craftsmanship, archaeological routes, and cultural events. Alongside the texts, QR codes allow readers to explore certain topics in greater detail, with highly useful and comprehensive information.
