| Page Views: 35 Last Visit to Orvieto: July, 2007 I Visit Here Frequently | The funny town walk by moacha - last update: Aug 21, 2007 |
This is decoration of a certain store. The unique masks in character with Italy and the accessories of fruit are china and skillful coloring are carried out. The stores which sell the souvenir things that are funny and lovely like this, are across this town. It is pleasant for to take a walk. |
|  | Street When I got out the main passage, there was an alley of quiet appearance. I seemed that the alley left a medieval atmosphere as it was. when I was in Rome, I would not get the nice feeling. |
Shops The stores which sell many interesting things stand in a row in the main street. There are mainly much colorful potteries. These are the specialtys of this land.(Orvieto) It is also pleasant to carry out window shopping while your walking. |  | |
|  | The artist The crowd was made. I coud hear melody. I looked in and saw him. He is a "street performer." Water is put into a glass, it is touched and sound is made. By the difference in the quantity of delicate water, he changed sound and played the music. His "the lake of the swan" is nice work. Big ripple of applause was arisen after the end of his performance.
I think that he is an artist. |
The Symbol of this towm When you go the main street, there is a high clock tower almost in the middle of this town. Some passages have spread in north, south, east and west from this tower. Since this tower can be seen wherever you may be in [ of this town ]. If this is made a mark and you walk, you do not lost your way and can hold your position . It is the most important mark of a town walk. |  | |
|  | There was a church which left "the medieval figure" beside the city government building as it was. This church was classic. |
The inner of this church Contrary to my anticipation, the inside of this church was gorgeous. Skillful fresco paintings are drawn on the wall and Virgin Maria is deified in the altar. It was solemn atmosphere in it. I prayed for my safety of the trip and offered the prayer of gratitude.
I went out this church. |  | |
|  | Where is going ? When I came out this church, the way devide into two. Acording for advice of person in sightseeing office, originally here , it must be only one way.The map became such as. Why? Moreover, nobody was around here. I was pazzled about this. Which way sould I take ? |
