Orvieto - Intro and History
Hello! I am the story teller... and today we will talk about Orvieto. Orvieto  is a city and comune in the Province of Terni, southwestern Umbria, Italy situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The city rises dramatically above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone, called tufa. The ancient city , populated since Etruscan times, has usually been associated with Etruscan Velzna, but some modern scholars differ.
