Orvieto is 3,000 years old. It was the first Etruscan town in Italy. The town flourished in the 6th century B.C. with an economy based on ceramics and bronze work. Orvieto is most known for its beautiful Gothic Duomo and a delicious combination of porchetta, truffles and Umbrian wine. In the Renaissance, Orvieto ceramics and Maiolica were often associated with green colorations.
